Why Are Trucking/Trailer Cases Different from Car Wreck Cases?
Trucking cases are very different from car wreck cases because there is a whole body of law from the government that regulates them and that they have to comply with. That includes the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act, their CDL manual, and their internal regulations – so, a number of things like that – because it is recognized that these are large, dangerous loads if they’re not handled correctly. They’re on the road for many, many hours.
These are professional drivers, and so they need to meet the standards of a professional driver and take safety first. Any lawyer who handles trucking cases has to be familiar with those in order to successfully handle a trucking case, and to get the best possible result for their client.
