Semi-truck and tractor trailer collisions differ from motor vehicle collisions in several respects. Semi-truck drivers are required to undergo specialized training and must hold a Commercial Driver License to safely operate their vehicles, which can weight up to 80,000 pounds. In addition, due to the high-risk nature of operating these vehicles, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) provides that drivers must adhere to a number of regulations. Failure on the part of the driver to comply with these regulations can be considered negligence. Obtaining information regarding these violations early on is crucial to your case.
In addition, there are often multiple parties involved. Liable parties can include the truck driver, the truck company, the owner of the truck, the company leasing the truck, the company leasing the trailer, the shipper, and the truck, trailer or parts manufacturer. Dealing with multiple commercial insurance companies just adds an additional layer of complexity. If you have been injured in a collision involving a semi-truck and tractor trailer, our attorneys at the Law Offices of Kamela James will make sure the crash is fully investigated and litigated properly from the start.
