Understanding Truck Driver Regulations

 

Large commercial vehicles like tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers require skilled operation due to their immense size and weight. Federal laws, enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), are in place to ensure public safety. However, violations of these regulations can result in catastrophic accidents.

Key regulations truck drivers must follow include:

• Maintaining a blood alcohol level below 0.04%.

• Refraining from alcohol consumption within four hours of driving.

• Adhering to strict driving hours and mandatory rest breaks.

• Conducting regular inspections of their vehicles and loads.

• Driving cautiously in adverse weather conditions.

Unfortunately, some drivers and trucking companies prioritize profit over safety, leading to preventable accidents.

Establishing Fault in Truck Accident Cases

 

Truck accidents often involve multiple parties, including drivers, trucking companies, and maintenance providers. Determining fault requires meticulous investigation and the preservation of critical evidence. At 44-CarCrash, we take swift action to strengthen your case, including:

• Investigating the accident scene and vehicle damage.

• Reviewing driver logs and company maintenance records.

• Inspecting electronic on-board recorder data.

• Consulting with industry experts and accident reconstruction specialists.

We are committed to holding all negligent parties accountable and securing maximum compensation for our clients.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

 

Over the years, our firm has seen a variety of factors contributing to devastating truck accidents, including:

• Driver fatigue or exceeding legal hours of service.

• Distracted driving, including cellphone use.

• Poor vehicle maintenance or mechanical failures.

• Overloaded or improperly secured cargo.

• Speeding, reckless driving, or alcohol and drug use.

 

By thoroughly investigating the root cause of each accident, we build compelling cases to protect our clients’ rights.

Your Legal Options After a Truck Accident

 

In Texas, personal injury claims must typically be filed within two years of the accident. However, exceptions may apply, making it essential to act quickly. Compensation in truck accident cases may include:

• Medical expenses and future treatment costs.

• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.

• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life.

• Punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence.

 

At Mildred Law Firm, we offer personalized legal representation and focus on securing the best possible outcome for every client.
