Federal Trucking Laws
There are several differences between car accident claims and truck accident claims. While it is necessary to prove negligence in both types of cases, the types of evidence that may be offered are different.
In truck accident claims, a plaintiff may be able to demonstrate negligence by reference to company trucking guidelines or a violation of federal trucking laws. Drivers of 18-wheelers and other large commercial trucks have limitations for the weight of their vehicle, as well as the amount of time they may drive. If driver logs demonstrate that a trucker has driven in excess of a reasonable period of time and inattentive driving contributed to the accident, you may be able to obtain compensation for your injuries.
In addition to weight and time restrictions, commercial drivers have severe limitations on the use of alcohol. Even the slightest amount of alcohol may be enough to warrant a jury finding that a trucker was negligent in his or her duties as a commercial truck driver.
Our personal injury attorneys have extensive experience in trucking accident claims and have a thorough understanding of the laws that may be used to your advantage to seek the compensation you deserve if you have been injured by a negligent or reckless trucker.
