Brooklyn
Truck Accident Lawyers

Truck accident claims can be more complicated than passenger vehicle claims. Truck companies are required to abide by strict federal and state laws. For example, truck drivers can only drive a truck for a given number of hours each day and truck drivers must pass medical exams that limit the kinds of medical conditions a truck driver can have and medications a truck driver can take and still operate a motor vehicle. Trucks themselves are subject to strict laws regarding maintenance and weights. When truck companies fail to abide by these laws, accidents can happen, and innocent people can get hurt. Truck companies are also required to carry high limit insurance policies to protect themselves and victims if an accident happens. These factors can all make a truck accident claim more complicated than a passenger vehicle accident claim.
