Large commercial trucks are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) as well as state laws. In order to obtain the full amount of financial compensation in a truck accident claim, it is important that your attorney understand all the nuances of the FMCSA regulations and how they affect your case.

Attorney Jeffery Hasson's knowledge of the trucking laws and regulations helps him maximize financial recoveries for his truck accident clients. For example, he will determine if a driver was using drugs to stay awake, if the truck was overloaded, or if the driver had spent too many hours on the road. All of these actions violate FMCSA regulations and can be used to prove liability in a truck accident claim.

We will consider all possible causes of the truck crash, including:

• Driver fatigue
• Lack of proper training
• Drug or alcohol abuse
• Improper maintenance
• Improper loading
• Defective brakes or tires
• Lack of underride protection
• Dangerous or defective roadway

Our trucking accident attorney will review driver log books and obtain important data from trucks equipped with a control module or "black box," or a satellite tracking system. He will retain an accident reconstructionist who specializes in truck accidents to determine the cause of the accident.

We will identify all possible sources of liability including the driver, the owner of the tractor, the owner of the trailer, the shop that maintained the truck, the warehouse that loaded it, and even the government entity that designed and built the roadway.

In short, we will leave no stone unturned in our effort to win full and fair monetary compensation for our clients injured in truck accidents. To discuss the specifics of your truck accident case, please contact our law firm today. The initial consultation is free of charge and you will pay no attorney's fees unless we recover damages in your claim.
