Do I need a truck accident attorney?
If you’ve been injured in an auto accident and you were not at fault, then hiring a truck accident attorney is often the best way to ensure a fair settlement, especially when the collision involves a tractor-trailer or commercial vehicle. While not every auto accident claim you file requires attorney assistance but if you’ve been hurt, it’s best to let an expert attorney in personal injury fight for your rights.
Trucking collisions are typically more complex and difficult to handle than the average automobile collision. This is because truck drivers and their companies are regulated by a great multitude of federal and state laws, many of which do not apply to the average class non-commercial driver. Some of the things these rules require are that drivers and their companies;
- perform certain maintenance and inspection procedures
- comply with certain licensing and driver qualifications
- require that drivers only be allowed to work a certain number of hours per day
- and many more even including rules on driver’s using cell phones!
