Wheeler operators and their companies are regulated by The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR). The FMCSR gives guidelines on the proper duties necessary for drivers on the road. If a client suffers a semi-truck wreck, lawyers look to these guidelines to confirm if there was negligence involved.
One of the main things to look for is the number of hours a truck driver has been working that week. If a driver had worked more than 11 hours consecutively in a 14-hour window, the driver may be at fault for a wreck. FMCSR strictly regulates how long a driver can be on the road without a break to avoid distracted driving and driver fatigue. Disobeying these guidelines is what leads to disastrous wrecks and injured victims. Make sure a negligent driver is held responsible for their actions and you receive a proper payout for damages.
Our truck wreck attorneys are fluent in big rig safety guidelines and make sure you receive the compensation you deserve. Our procedure includes a thorough investigation of the accident scene and goes on to pursue legal action in cases of carelessness by a commercial truck driver.
