Toledo trucking accident attorney answers your questions

Some frequently asked questions regarding trucking accidents include the following:

  • Who can sue in a tractor-trailer injury or wrongful death case?  As long as another person or entity is found at-fault for the accident, anyone who is injured or loses a loved one in a trucking accident is eligible to participate in a wrongful death suit.
  • What party can be sued in a truck accident case?  Any party who is at-fault for causing an accident can be sued, such as the truck driver, the trucking company, the shipper, the owner of the trailer, or even the manufacturer of a specific part of the truck that contributed to the accident.
  • Does the government limit the number of consecutive hours that a truck driver can operate his or her truck?  Yes.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration restricts the number of hours that a driver may be on the road.  These regulations have provided valuable sources for many truck accident cases over the years.
