Federal Regulation Compliance & Florida Truck Accidents
The commercial trucking industry is under federal regulations designed to ensure the safety of truck drivers and other motorists. Failing to follow these regulations increases the likelihood of a truck accident occurring. Our firm has seen cases involving varied failures to follow federal regulations, including:
- Number of driving hours
- Commercial driving licenses (CDL) requirements
- Use of drugs or alcohol on the road
- Proper loading procedures
- Proper inspection and maintenance
- Driver qualifications
- Transporting hazardous materials
Because professional drivers are held to a higher standard of safety than the general public, we also look into the training, hiring, and safety record of the driver and company involved in your accident, or loved one's wrongful death. If any regulations were violated willfully, we will work to seek the maximum compensation from responsible party, including the truck driver, owner, and trucking company.
