Truck Accidents Cause Life-Altering Injuries

A Fully loaded tractor-trailer weighs more than six times as much as the average car. This means that if you’re driving a car and involved in a trucking accident, you are at a greater risk for a serious injury or even death.

Accidents involving commercial trucks bring on a different kind of challenge then the average auto accident. When it comes to claiming compensation for your injuries, the trucking companies will take an aggressive approach to minimizing damages. Therefore it is important that your attorney be well-versed in the rules enacted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. (FMCSA)

These rules deal with truck inspection, maintenance, and repair; truckers’ hours of service and rest time; the permissible size and weight of cargo; and driver qualifications. Even though trucking companies are all supposed to operate under very detailed and strict rules, this is not always the case. Knowledge and firsthand experience of the trucking companies, the FMCSA regulations, and the insurance companies’ tactics is essential to recovering compensation for your injuries.
