Were you or a loved one injured in a Tractor Trailer accident? If so, it
is imperative you contact our Pennsylvania Tractor
Trailer Accident attorneys. Our truck accident lawyers are well-versed in the
vehicle codes and regulations of these semi's. Truck accidents are handled
differently than normal passenger vehicle accidents.
Both State and/or
Federal law, depending on if the truck was involved in intrastate or interstate
transport may govern trucking accidents. Trucking companies as well as their
drivers have to follow many State and Federal regulations to operate a
commercial vehicle. Hiring our Pennsylvania trucking accident injury attorneys,
who are experienced in tractor trailer accident litigation, is the only way to
ensure that all required regulations have been followed, and if they weren't
you could receive compensation for your trucking accident injury. Some of the
regulations are as followed:
· Trucking companies are required to follow the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) regulations concerning
equipment and hours of service.
· Truck drivers are required to maintain a
driver's log.
· Commercial driver's license standards are
Federal regulations in place to reduce or prevent truck collisions and
resulting injuries and/or deaths. Drivers of certain vehicles are required to
obtain a single commercial motor vehicle driver's license.
· Alcohol of any kind is not permitted in the
trailer or the cab of the vehicle unless it is part of a shipment. This
includes cough/ cold medications.
· Federal regulations require commercial trucks to
carry certain levels of insurance coverage, depending on the nature of the
materials hauled. These regulations protect victims of large truck crashes from
truck owners who may not have the financial resources to pay damages
out-of-pocket.
The trucking companies
pay out a great deal of money for their truck insurance policies due to the
high risks and possible damages that could occur in the event of an 18 wheeler
collision. Trucking companies begin an investigation into the accident as soon
as it happens. If fault is found to be on behalf of the driver or company then
the insurance adjusters just as quickly offer an insufficient settlement to
compensate the victim for their negligence. These quick offers are a ploy to
minimize costs paid out to you, the victim. Don't let this happen to you,
if you or a loved have been involved in a tractor trailer accident call our PA trucking
accident injury attorneys as soon after the accident as possible.
