How Are Truck Accident Claims Different?
Many people assume that a large truck accident claim is the same as a car or motorcycle accident claim. However, there are significant differences.
Semi truck drivers and other commercial vehicle operators must have a commercial driver's license (CDL). They are given special training because large vehicles pose a significant risk of danger if they are not operated properly and may be held to a higher standard of care.
Special considerations must be taken into account in any large vehicle accident claim. For example, a large vehicle takes a substantially greater distance to stop. They must drive at a safe distance to avoid unnecessary risk of collision.
Commercial drivers must also keep detailed records of their time on duty (driver's logs) and must be fit, mentally and physically, to drive on the public roadways. In addition, commercial drivers must adhere to a host of federal and state trucking laws and regulations. As personal injury attorneys with experience in truck and large vehicle accident claims, we can ensure that you receive the knowledgeable and vigorous representation you require.
