Violations Of Trucking Regulations

An understanding of the risks associated with large trucks sharing the road with cars and motorcycles led to state and federal trucking regulations. These regulations govern commercial vehicle traffic in things such as the amount of time a truck driver can spend on the road, load weight, maintenance, driver qualifications and more. They are meant to curb the amount of trucking accidents, and the resulting serious injuries and death.

Information About Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations

The sections of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations govern the following, among other things:

  • Alcohol and controlled substance use
  • Commercial driver’s licensing standards
  • Driver qualifications
  • Management, maintenance and operation of driving the commercial vehicles
  • Hours of service and driving
  • Inspection, repair and maintenance of commercial vehicle parts
  • Transportation of hazardous material
  • Cargo weight

Trucking Rules Violations = Negligence

A violation of these trucking regulations is a serious offense. The party responsible can be found negligent and held liable for a truck accident caused by those violations, and be required to compensate an accident victim for his or her financial and emotional suffering.

Did a violation of federal trucking regulations contribute to your truck accident? An experienced attorney can evaluate your claim and help determine whom or what is responsible for your injuries. Your lawyer can then decide the proper course of legal action to maximize the compensation you receive.
