Questions
What People Ask Us About Trucking Accidents
General information, not legal advice.
- Why do I need a lawyer quickly after a truck crash?
- Because the trucking company’s evidence is perishable. Federal rules let carriers destroy driver logs after six months (49 CFR 395.8), and dash-cam footage and engine data can be overwritten in weeks. The company’s insurer and lawyers often start within hours. A preservation demand sent in the first week is what keeps the evidence alive.
- Who can be held responsible in a semi-truck accident?
- Often more than the driver. The motor carrier is responsible for hiring, training, scheduling and maintenance. The trailer owner, the shipper that loaded the cargo, a broker, a maintenance contractor or a parts manufacturer may share fault. Identifying every responsible company matters because interstate carriers must carry at least $750,000 in coverage, and many carry far more.
- What federal rules apply to truck drivers?
- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations limit driving to 11 hours within a 14-hour window, require electronic logging, set medical and licensing standards, mandate vehicle inspections and require post-accident drug and alcohol testing after fatal crashes. A violation of any of these rules is evidence of negligence, and each one leaves a record.
- What is a trucking case worth?
- No honest lawyer can answer that in the first call. Value depends on the injuries, the medical future, lost earning capacity, the strength of the fault evidence and the coverage available. The Injury Counsel obtained a $975,000 settlement in a trucking case. That result does not predict yours, and every case is judged on its own facts.
