Trucking Accidents
|
Truck vs Car
Tractor-trailer, 18-wheeler, big rig,
dump truck, Mack truck, cement truck,
delivery truck, grain hauler, haz-mat
hauler - no matter what you call it or
what kind of truck it is, these trucks
are bigger than the majority of the
vehicles on the road. Few things are
more frightening than seeing a
semi-truck collide with a small
passenger vehicle. The reason - we know
there are going to be serious injuries,
even death. Most of these heavy trucks
require special training and a special
license before they can be operated
because they can be very dangerous when
not operated or maintained properly.
Because of the danger that these trucks
pose to the general public, the State of
Michigan and the federal government
heavily regulate the trucking industry,
from the individual drivers and
vehicles, to the commercial corporations
who employ the drivers and who own the
vehicles.
You Need an
Attorney Who Knows Commercial Trucking
Regulations
An attorney who represents car accident
victims is not the same as an attorney
who represents truck accident victims.
You need an attorney who is familiar
with all of the rules and regulations of
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA), the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
the Michigan Department of
Transportation, and the U.S. Department
of Transportation. You need an attorney
who knows how to investigate a truck
accident - how to acquire the driver's
hours-of-service logs, the maintenance
and inspection records, the loading
requirements of the vehicle, etc. You
need an attorney who has worked with the
best accident reconstruction experts
across the country. You need an
advantage over the large commercial
trucking company and its insurance
company and Powers Chapman is that
advantage. Call today for your free
consultation.

Injuries Seriously!
