Federal Trucking Laws
There are rules and regulations put in place by the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration to ensure that drivers and operators are safe on
the road. These regulations include the amount of time that a driver can
operate a vehicle, the allowed blood alcohol content for drivers and the
recording of all maintenance and mileage in a driver's log. When you
work with my firm, I will review the accident and look to see if any laws
or regulations were violated.
Who is responsible for my big rig accident?
There are a few different parties that could be held responsible for your
injuries, including:
-
The Driver
If the driver was operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol, acting
in a negligent manner or driving recklessly, they can be held liable for
your injuries. An attorney will determine if they at-fault or at least
partially at-fault for the accident.
-
The Manufacturer
In some cases, a product failure can be the cause of the accident. If
a part on the vehicle failed to operate as it should, such as brakes or
steering components, the manufacturer of the product may be held liable.
-
The Loader
Trucks with open beds or trucks carrying heavy loads should always have
their loads properly secured by a loader. If a loader did not correctly
weigh or secure the cargo prior to moving, the cargo may shift and cause
an accident.
-
The Owner
If the owner of the company is responsible for maintenance on the vehicle
and they failed to do so, they can be held at-fault for your injuries.
An attorney can determine if the owner of leaser of the vehicle is liable.
