The enormous presence of commercial trucks on Florida’s busy roadways is tough to overlook. Though they are necessary for carrying goods around our lovely Sunshine State, their size and heft frequently result in disastrous catastrophes requiring a truck accident attorney. As they deal with the aftermath, victims frequently question, “How can trucking safety regulations affect my accident claim?” Tucker Law illuminates your route to justice by bringing clarity to this difficult topic.
The trucking sector is supervised by a plethora of federal and state safety laws. These regulations are intended to reduce hazards, assure safe operation, and provide a code of conduct for truck drivers and companies. When these regulations are broken, it can help improve your personal injury case significantly.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), for example, establishes particular ‘Hours of Service’ requirements. These regulations limit the amount of consecutive hours a truck driver can travel without stopping. If it can be demonstrated that a driver disregarded these restrictions, resulting in weariness and an accident, it strengthens your case against the driver and possibly their company.
Similarly, FMCSA regulations require trucks to be inspected and maintained on a regular and detailed basis. If an accident occurs as a result of a faulty braking system, tire blowout, or other maintenance-related issue, and it is revealed that the truck was not properly maintained, this will be a crucial cornerstone in your claim.
Furthermore, trucking businesses must conduct extensive background investigations before recruiting drivers. If a firm fails to undertake due diligence and hires someone with a terrible driving record, the company may be held liable for ‘negligent hiring.’
Identifying these breaches and efficiently utilizing them in your instance, on the other hand, is a difficult undertaking. Trucking corporations, aided by impressive legal teams, frequently go to tremendous lengths to limit their culpability. That is just how trucking companies think. They may challenge the applicability of specific regulations or claim that the violation was not a direct cause of the accident.
