Trucking law firm
What you should know if you were in an accident with a trailer trailer.
You were in an accident with a tractor trailer - now what? Commercial truck drivers are required to comply with additional laws and pass additional tests to get behind the wheel of a large truck. These drivers are required to take mandatory rest breaks, keep an accounting of their time behind the wheel, and comply with many other regulatory laws.
The importance of a driver having additional training and complying with the law when getting behind the wheel of an 80,000 pound vehicle is crucial because if they get in a crash, it can mean life or death. Large companies like JB Hunt, CR England and US Xpress know the type of drivers they should be hiring and retaining, but sometimes a bad driver slips through the cracks and the results can be catastrophic.
Selecting an attorney who knows the interstate and California regulations as well as the DOT standards is vital to the success of your case. Call us today and we can help you fight the trucking company.
