Holding Truckers and Trucking Companies Accountable
Commercial truck drivers have many responsibilities beyond those of ordinary drivers. Beginning with the necessity of holding a valid commercial driver's license (CDL), a truck driver is subject to state and federal regulations intended to ensure our heavily travelled roadways are as safe for travel as possible.
Our attorneys are adept at identifying all applicable forms of insurance coverage and other potential sources of recovery for victims of trucking accidents. At the Law Offices of Jay A. Bansal, located in Tempe, Arizona, every client receives personal attention and the benefit of experience establishing accident liability and building medical records for significant financial recoveries. Contact us now for legal guidance after a truck or other roadway accident. We serve clients throughout the Valley.
Many Responsibilities are Shared by the Truck Driver and His or Her Employer
Given the seriousness of many injuries arising from car-truck collisions and the challenge of pursuing claims against trucking companies and other parties, we make thorough investigation of the accident itself a priority. A company or driver may have failed to fulfill a number of key responsibilities, covered by a range of trucking laws and regulations, such as:
- Performance of background checks and physical exams on drivers to screen out individuals with a history of traffic violations, problem alcohol or drug use, or other risk factors
- Diligence in ensuring drivers are properly licensed and certified to drive the type of truck involved in your accident
- Adherence to laws and regulations intended to prevent accidents due to driver fatigue, such as keeping accurate log books and observing daily limits on how long a driver can be on the road
- Keeping trucks properly maintained, and records available to document the performance of necessary truck maintenance
