Federal Truck Regulation Violations
Federal law requires that truck drivers and companies follow strict rules meant to protect both truck drivers and other car drivers on the road. That doesn't mean that the regulations are always followed properly. We are knowledgeable of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and can assist you in understanding whether violations of the rules, such as driving-hour limitations and log book violations, caused the crash.
Regulations also provide guidelines for proper maintenance of the semi truck. Poor or faulty brakes, broken windshield wipers and shifting loads can lead to devastating accidents on local freeways, such as I-26, I-85 and I-95.
Truck Driver and Company Negligence and Carelessness
In accident cases where there were no violations of the federal rules for truck drivers, there may have been other actions of negligence or carelessness, including:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Negligent maintenance of the vehicle
- Distracted driving
- Driver fatigue
- Negligent hiring or supervision of drivers
