U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) resources
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) provides a wide range of resources that truck accident lawyers can use to strengthen cases, including safety data, research reports, and policy guidance.
Distracted driving
Evolving federal and state regulations
Trucking laws in the U.S. are shaped by both federal and state governments. As technology advances and safety concerns grow, regulations are evolving to address new challenges in the industry.
Eyewitness testimony
Eyewitness testimony provides a human perspective on how a truck accident occurred. While sometimes imperfect, it can add valuable detail and credibility to a case.
Truck driver liability
Truck drivers are the individuals directly operating commercial vehicles, and their actions are often the first factor examined when determining liability after a crash.
Distracted driving
Distracted driving is a growing concern across all motor vehicle accidents, but the consequences are especially severe when a distracted driver is operating an 80,000-pound commercial truck.
