Negligence in Webster Groves Truck Accidents

Trucking companies sometimes prioritize profits over safety, creating dangerous conditions that can lead to serious accidents. They may pressure drivers to meet unrealistic delivery schedules, fail to properly train drivers, hire drivers with poor safety records, or skip required fleet maintenance.

Even well-trained drivers can make dangerous mistakes, such as driving while tired, becoming distracted, speeding, or making aggressive maneuvers that violate safety regulations and put others at risk. Other parties may also share liability, including truck or equipment manufacturers, cargo loaders, and government entities responsible for unsafe road design or poor road maintenance.

Truck accident claims can also involve more than one driver or vehicle. If another passenger vehicle contributed to the crash, a Webster Groves car accident lawyer can help evaluate that driver’s role and how their negligence may affect your claim.

Federal Trucking Regulation Violations

The commercial trucking industry is governed by regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. These regulations exist to promote safety, and violations can be used as evidence of negligence in trucking accident cases.

The federal trucking regulations include hours-of-service rules that limit driving time and require rest breaks to prevent fatigue-related incidents, as well as drug and alcohol testing requirements for drivers. Additionally, they include vehicle inspection, repair, and maintenance requirements, cargo securement standards, and electronic logging to help prevent record falsification.

Our Webster Groves truck accident attorneys carefully investigate whether regulatory violations exist and contributed to your accident, and use these violations as powerful evidence supporting your claim.
