Do Federal Regulations for Trucking Companies Prevent Trucking Accidents?

The Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCA) is the agency that establishes and enforces federal regulations for trucking companies. Because passenger vehicles must share the roadways and highways with these large trucks, it is important that safety measures are in place to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. The federal regulations for trucking companies cover everything from the hours a driver is permitted to drive without rest periods and the requirements for driver medical fitness tests to truck inspections and maintenance records. Even though heavy fines are in place for violating federal regulations for trucking companies, many companies choose to ignore these safety measures to reduce overhead and increase profits.

When a truck driver or truck company ignores the federal regulations for trucking companies accidents can happen. While this may not always be the case, it is important that you retain a personal injury attorney who understands the federal regulations for trucking companies and understands how to investigate trucking accidents to determine if the truck driver, trucking company, or a third party is liable for causing the accident. As experienced trucking accident attorneys, The Levinson Law Group knows how to access records detailing violations of these federal regulations. This is an extremely important step in a truck accident investigation.
