Commercial Trucking Accidents
Commercial trucking is governed by a set of laws under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These laws regulate the number of hours truck drivers can work, truck maintenance requirements, hiring practices and many other factors.
Our lawyers are knowledgeable in the FMCSA regulations, which often play a large role in a truck accident lawsuit. This knowledge helps us to determine the causes of truck accidents and to establish liability.
Causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue
- Overloaded trucks
- Improper truck maintenance
- Speeding and reckless driving
- Drunk driving
- Trucking company negligence
Because of the speed and mass involved in truck accidents, they often result in catastrophic injuries and even wrongful death. Our attorneys have the experience, skill and resources to handle complex truck accident cases, and are prepared to help you obtain the compensation you need to pay for your medical bills, wage loss and other hardships.
