Rules and Regulations Governing Trucking

Commercial truck drivers are required to follow federal and state regulations. A driver can violate these regulations in many ways, including:

• Falling asleep at the wheel
• Improperly securing a load
• Driving an overweight vehicle
• Speeding
• Improperly maintaining the vehicle

Investigating Your Case

Often, trucks have onboard computers, which measure the truck's speed and other factors. This "black box" will tell you the speed and the location of the truck at the time of the accident. Since a truck could be totaled or the information can be erased, this investigation is time-sensitive. Our attorneys will work quickly to try to preserve crucial evidence for your case.

When you hire our firm, we will immediately begin an investigation into the circumstances of your accident. Our attorneys will gather evidence, including GPS data, photographs and witness statements to build your case.
