Being involved in a truck accident – whether with a semi-truck, tractor-trailer, or commercial vehicle – can have life-altering consequences. These accidents differ significantly from typical car collisions due to their complexity and the power of the legal teams behind trucking companies.
So should you. Learn more about how our truck accident attorneys at Simon Law can help you navigate these complex cases.
Why Truck Accidents Require Special Legal Attention
It is not an area of law an attorney should handle if they are unfamiliar with these accidents. Experience and reputation matter in trucking cases.
There is an expansive regulatory framework controlling truck drivers’ conduct and trucking companies’ conduct, as well as federal safety regulations that come into play. Federal trucking regulations—such as hours-of-service rules and maintenance requirements—are designed to keep roads safe. Violations of these rules often play a key role in determining liability after a truck accident.
Accidents involving trucks have a much more complex litigation landscape than typical car accidents. They include taking on huge companies and involve digging to identify systematic errors to improve the safety of the system.
Trucking accidents also often involve litigation at the federal court level.
