Holding Truck Drivers Accountable for Serious Injuries
Truck accidents, including those involving tractor-trailers, semi trucks and freight trucks, usually cause serious or catastrophic injuries. Head injury (including brain injury), spinal cord injury, paralysis, broken bones, and organ damage are frequent results of semi truck crashes.
New Jersey truck accident lawyer Anthony Murgatroyd has helped many people who were seriously injured in truck and tractor trailer accidents caused by truck driver negligence, such as:
- Failure to signal
- Brake failure
- Failure to stop
- Speeding
- Driver fatigue
- Improper loading
- Unbalanced cargo
- Careless driving
- Improper truck maintenance
Federal Trucking Regulations
Personal injury cases involving trucks, tractor-trailers, semi-trucks and freight are complicated. Motor carriers must follow very specific federal regulations in areas such as:
- Background checks and initial testing of new truck drivers
- The number of hours that truck drivers are allowed to drive without rest
- The frequency that a motor carrier must inspect its trucks
- Load, weight, and equipment restrictions
Our Hunterdon County truck accident lawyer and legal team have experience dealing with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. We also have past experience defending truck and tractor-trailer drivers and their insurance companies, which gives us insight into how to prepare your truck accident case for success.
