Hold Trucking Companies Accountable
An accident with an 18-wheeler or other commercial truck is unlike any type of car crash. Besides the size of these vehicles, trucks differ from passenger cars in that they are governed by a host of additional state and federal trucking regulations. If you suffered an injury in a trucking accident, contact a Dallas experienced trial attorney at the Law Office of Jason January, P.C., in Dallas, Texas.
Our Dallas truck accident law firm advocates for the rights of people injured by the negligence of a truck driver and trucking company. It is important to hire a lawyer who understands not only personal injury laws, but also the laws specific to the trucking industry. We will advocate for your rights to get not only money to compensate you for your losses, but also punitive damages when available that send a deterrent message to wrongdoing trucking companies.
Commercial Truck Regulations
Companies of the trucking industry and semi truck drivers face a list of additional regulations in attempts to prevent trucking accidents. Through a variety of state agencies, the Department of Transportation, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, regulations are imposed on people who engage in interstate trucking commerce that require their adherence to strict safety and employment regulations related to:
- Medical and background checks
- Maintenance and safety inspections
- Driver rest periods
- Undocumented workers and illegal immigrants
- Substance and alcohol issues
Trucking Accident Investigations
It is important to act quickly following a trucking wreck. Given the potential for large damages, trucking insurance companies investigate claims immediately following an accident. The key to gathering evidence and statements from eyewitnesses is to speak to someone at our firm right away. We employ accident experts and professionals to reconstruct the incident. We work quickly to protect evidence and to locate witnesses.
