Trucking Accidents
If you’ve been injured in a truck crash, our group of attorneys can help
Truck drivers must follow the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. Those rules require a heightened level of skill and knowledge for a driver to meet the standard of care that is required for all motorists. Bottom line is truckers have more rules to follow, and those rules are designed to safe lives. If you have been injured in a truck crash, call Ferry law. 833 Ferry law.
Truck accident statistics
Over 13% of all registered vehicles in the US are commercial trucks. Trucks moved over 11 billion tons of freight in 2019 and that number grows year after year. A truck is not like a regular car and the laws that govern the trucking industry are also not the same. 80,000 pounds of force flying down the road can cause unnecessary safety hazards that can lead to catastrophic injuries and death. That is a problem for the people we love and our society as a whole. At Ferry Law, we have taken special focus on developing expertise in trucking litigation because we are concerned that the corporations and drivers involved in this industry are burning the candle at both ends in order to make a few extra bucks and creating unnecessary dangers to other motorists and pedestrians.
With Attorney Ferry’s team, victims can be confident that their representatives have time-tested experience and knowledge in handling trucking crash cases and they will get the results they need to feel honored and respected despite what has been taken away.
Our goal is to create safer roads with fewer deaths and life-changing injuries through advocacy to increase safety regulations, love for our clients and recognition of the suffering that trucking crashes cause.
Why Ferry Law for Truck Crash Victims
Truck crash cases are a whole other type of crash from an automobile crash. The Federal Motor Carries Safety Regulations (FMCSR) places several specific duties upon an operator of a commercial motor vehicle (CMV.) Beyond the duties outlined in the FMCSR, a driver must obey company policy and procedures, state enacted commercial vehicle legislation and duties recognized by industry custom and practice.
Unlike a car crash case, in most truck crash cases, a trucking expert must be retained to identify all of the potential rule violations that caused or contributed in a material way to the crash. Many times, additional experts must be employed to scientifically evaluate visibility, sight lines, and the limits of human perception and reaction time. In cases involving brokered loads, a brokerage expert may be needed to establish industry customs and practices which a broker violated in selecting a motor carry to carry a load. To put it succinctly, a personal injury lawyer who takes on a truck crash case, is not in Kansas anymore.
