Bakersfield Semi Truck Accident and Injury Lawyers
A moment of negligence can result in a lifetime of injury. The tremendous mass and momentum of semi trucks create disastrous impact during collision. Truck accident victims usually suffer serious injury or death.
What sets truck accidents apart from other auto accidents
Federal regulations
The federal government heavily regulates the trucking industry in an effort to ensure safety. Two agencies, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) set and govern standards for trucking. Limited driving hours, truck driver training, and requirements for inspections, maintenance, and repair are just some aspects of the trucking industry that the government regulates. Under federal laws, companies and drivers are required to keep logs that document compliance.
When you are injured in a truck accident, the outcome of your case may greatly depend on your lawyer’s special knowledge of trucking regulations. The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker has significant experience in recognizing and proving violations on the part of trucking companies and drivers.
Trucking industry legal defense
