Certain commercial vehicles are held to different standards than others. For example, interstate trucking companies must adhere to different regulations than local delivery companies. If you are involved in a truck accident, it is important to know what laws and regulations govern the operations of the truck and trucking company, including those of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Trucking Laws & Regulations

Our commercial vehicle accident attorneys have experience with all types of truck accident cases, including cases involving 18-wheelers or tractor-trailers. We have a deep understanding of the laws and regulations applicable to various types of trucks and what needs to be done to prepare your case to maximize your chances of recovery.

When a trucking company hires someone to drive a truck for them, the company is responsible for making sure the driver is qualified. Negligent hiring occurs when companies fail to take proper steps to determine whether someone is fit or suitable to operate a commercial vehicle. If you are harmed by someone who was negligently hired, you may have a claim against the trucking company for the damages done to you.

In the trucking industry, companies are held to a high standard. Truck drivers must have special training, and trucking companies must ensure that the driver and his or her equipment are suitable for the road and being operated in a safe and reasonable manner. Highway accidents involving commercial vehicles often lead to serious injury or wrongful death.
