Our Birmingham and Montgomery truck accident lawyers are skilled at determining when trucking company negligence has played a role in causing truck accidents.

Our Birmingham and Montgomery truck accident lawyers are skilled at determining when trucking company negligence has played a role in causing truck accidents.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has outlined a number of federal trucking regulations that companies must abide by in order to do their part to ensure the safety of their drivers, their trucks and others on the roadway. Some of the specific things that these federal trucking regulations govern include (but are not limited to):

  • Weight limits and loading requirements for trucks
  • Essential safety equipment for trucks
  • Required training and credentials for drivers
  • Maximum driving shifts and “on-duty” periods for drivers.

Failing to comply with any of federal trucking regulation (or any state trucking regulation, for that matter) can be an act of negligence, and trucking companies can be held liable in the event that such negligence contributes to truck accidents, injuries and/or fatalities.
