FEDERAL REGULATIONS
Commercial truck litigation is not governed by standard traffic laws. We utilize the full weight of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) to establish carrier liability.
WE EXPLOIT FEDERAL VIOLATIONS.
Commercial trucking is governed by rigid federal statutes. When carriers prioritize profit over compliance, we utilize these technical failures to establish absolute liability.
Hours of Service (HOS)
Driver fatigue is the leading cause of highway fatalities. We audit ELD data to prove the driver exceeded the 14-hour work limit or failed to take mandatory rest breaks.
Equipment Maintenance
Brake failure, tire blowouts, and lighting malfunctions are rarely "accidental." We expose deferred maintenance and falsified inspection reports.
Controlled Substance Testing
We verify the driver's inclusion in the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse and confirm the carrier followed mandatory post-accident testing protocols.
Aiding or Abetting Violations
Carriers cannot encourage or permit drivers to violate federal safety rules. We prove "systemic negligence" when dispatchers pressure drivers to exceed HOS limits.
General Qualifications of Drivers
Carriers must ensure drivers meet strict medical, physical, and background standards. We audit driver qualification files for "red flags" ignored at hire.
Ill or Fatigued Operator
Strict prohibition against driving while impaired by fatigue or illness. We cross-reference medical records with driving logs to expose violations.
Parts & Accessories Necessary
Technical requirements for lights, brakes, and cargo securement. Any failure here establishes per se negligence in a commercial collision.
THE BLACK BOX NEVER LIES.
Carriers often "lose" paper logs after a crash. We secure Event Data Recorders (EDR) and ELD cloud backups to prove HOS violations in court.
