When Truck Drivers Break the Law
Trucking is a competitive industry, and hardworking truck drivers are constantly pressured to deliver more cargo in less time. Unfortunately, this pressure forces some truck drivers into making bad decisions such as speeding or violating other traffic laws.
Under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, excessive speeding occurs when truckers drive at 15 mph or more above the posted speed limit. Reckless driving can include a number of dangerous acts, including tailgating, running red lights and changing lanes without signaling.
How do we determine if the truck driver's speeding or reckless driving contributed to the accident? We conduct thorough investigations to find all of the facts. Many commercial trucks carry "black box" recording devices that can provide information such as vehicle speed at the time of the crash. Our attorneys also consult with accident reconstruction experts who help us determine the cause of the crash by examining forensic evidence. We will apply our skill and experience in truck accident law to help you pursue full and fair compensation for the losses you have suffered.
