Truck Driver Rules And Regulations

Our attorneys have extensive experience representing clients who have been injured in truck accidents. Most truck accidents are a result of truck driver negligence or a failure to follow rules and regulations regarding truck safety, including:

  • Failing to properly secure loads and cargo;
  • Driver exhaustion resulting from lack of required sleep between jobs;
  • Driver drug or alcohol abuse;
  • Driving an overweight vehicle;
  • Failing to have a proper license, such as a commercial driver’s license;
  • Driving on a road where trucks are forbidden or failing to heed height limitations;
  • Failing to have proper mirrors to prevent blind spots; and
  • Failing to reduce speed in inclement weather conditions, such as fog, snow, rain or ice.

Investigating Your Truck Driver Accident

Truck accidents are time-sensitive. When you hire our firm, we will work quickly to collect evidence for your case. For example, most trucks have a “black box” device or a GPS unit. These devices record the speed the truck was going and the location of the truck at the time of the accident. We will try to work fast to secure this information before it is lost or destroyed.
