Truck Drivers and Truck Companies Have Specific Rules to Follow
Everyone on the road, regardless of the type of vehicle, has rules to follow. However, the rules that apply to truck drivers are much more stringent because of the size of their vehicles and the enhanced potential for serious accidents.
There are rules that dictate how many hours a truck driver can spend behind the wheel. These rules are designed to eliminate truck accidents caused by driver fatigue. There are also rules that outline how trucks are to be loaded and the amount of weight they can carry. Trucking companies must follow rules regarding who they can hire to drive trucks and how frequently trucks must be checked and maintained. Not surprisingly, investigation of trucking accidents frequently reveals that rules were broken.
Investigating Semi Crash Cases
While there are certainly many similarities between investigating a car accident and investigating a truck accident, there are nuances that experienced lawyers understand.
