Incidents involving commercial trucks can be extremely complex. Whether the accident occurred while the truck was being driven, loaded, unladed, or otherwise, there is a wealth of information potentially available and many important considersations that only a well-versed expert will be aware of. The Trucking Experts at Evidence Solutions add a level of clarity and expertise to a case that would otherwise be unattainable.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Trucking is a highly regulated industry in the United States. Drivers and the companies that employ them are subject to extensive rules and regulations through the Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act, and it’s crucial to know whether these guidelines were properly adhered to. Drivers are required to confirm on duty driving hours, track mileage, rest time, and other details of their travels to ensure they are not overly fatigued or traveling in an unsafe manner. The companies that employ the drivers must look into a candidate’s driving history, perform background checks, and conduct drug screenings. In addition to strict rules and regulations there are also accepted standards of care that a reasonable person within the industry would understand and a highly accomplished expert could persuasively speak to in a case.
