There should be no place on our roads for commercial trucking negligence.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has set restrictions on the number of hours a commercial truck driver may drive in a day and a week. The law is clear that drivers must keep an accurate log and other information, including expense receipts, showing that they are complying with the regulations governing their driving hours. Unfortunately, log book violations continue to be leading factors in truck accidents. Factors such as driver fatigue, not stopping for required rest, and even low blood sugar because of poor eating habits often lead to truck accidents caused by truck driver negligence.

Our firm's personal injury group is led by attorneys Paul Kruse, Tony Patterson, and Pete Obremskey. We aggressively represent people who have been injured in accidents caused because of negligence on the part of commercial truck drivers. Trucking industry statistics show that over nine billion tons of products are hauled by large trucks and semi tractor trailers across America every year. There clearly is a lot of money to be made by the trucking company that can promise the fastest delivery. As personal injury lawyers, we know that commercial truck companies may not sufficiently supervise their own truck drivers on the road. We applaud efforts by the FMCSA to strictly enforce rules intended to prevent truck driver negligence, and the injuries and death that result from negligence. But we know that FMCSA enforcement efforts are not enough.

If you have been injured in an accident that involved a commercial truck, statistics indicate that truck driver neglect may be a contributing factor. Contact our offices to discuss your injuries and the circumstances of your accident. Our attorneys can help you receive full and fair compensation you may be entitled to for your injuries.
