Hours of Service Violations
Trucking companies often require their drivers to work long hours. Driving a truck for long distances and extended periods of time puts the driver and other drivers at risk.
An alert driver is essential to the safety of themselves and others. A truck driver who has been behind the wheel without rest does not have the ability to focus on the road and react to all situations.
Laws exist to prevent these kinds of situations. If trucking companies fail to obey these laws, they become liable for any injuries or damages caused.
Our trucking company negligence attorneys provide years of courtroom experience to families and individuals that have suffered an injury or the loss of a loved one due to an overworked truck driver.
Hours of Service Liability
Semi-trucks are extremely large and when fully loaded, they can present a serious risk to all other cars on the road. Truck drivers who drive for long periods of time are required to stop and sleep. Failure to stop and rest is a firm violation of the trucking regulations. When an accident happens due to a tired driver, the trucking company will be held responsible. Let our experienced professionals guide you along the way and recover damages on your behalf.
