New York Commercial Trucking Accident Attorney
Truck accident claims are far more complicated claims then car accident claims because of a highly regulated interstate trucking industry.
A different set of rules apply to trucks, trucking companies, and truck driver training and conduct.
Facts you should know:
- Commercial truck drivers are only allotted a limited number of hours they can be on the road ensuring they get enough rest. They maintain a logbook documenting their trips.
- Trucks have weight restrictions, road restrictions and maintenance requirements ensuring road safety.
- Trucking companies are regulated (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) when hiring, training, scheduling their dtruck drivers as well as the maintenance of their trucks.
- Cargo must be transported safely, this includes proper containment of hazardous materials (HAZMAT regulations).
- Drug & Alcohol Testing
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is focused on reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses.
However, these rules are violated more often then we care to think. When a commercial truck driver breaks these rules everyone on the road at the time is in harms way and a trucking accident is much more likely to occur.
