Thousands of 18-wheelers traverse the city’s roads and highways each month, but these giants of the road are nothing but gentle.

As the victim of a truck accident, you have the right to demand fair compensation from the trucker and the trucking company. Wyatt Injury Law Personal Injury Attorneys is here to help you get it. Call our Biltmore, AZ truck accident injury lawyer today for a personalized consultation.
Truck Accident Injury Lawyer Biltmore, AZ
Commercial drivers are held to a higher standard for licensing and training than private drivers. When someone is in control of a 40-ton vehicle, they have the potential to cause a lot of damage. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets strict standards for commercial drivers, including mandatory rest times, a low blood alcohol content threshold to be convicted of DUI, and requirements to ensure the truck and cargo are secure, safe, and roadworthy. Failure of a commercial driver to adhere to FMCSA regulations often creates conditions in which a dangerous accident is more likely.
Commercial trucking companies, too, must adhere to FMCSA regulations, including proper supervision and vetting of their drivers. If a commercial driver causes a wreck, the trucking company they were driving for can also be held liable, even if the driver is a contracted driver and not a direct employee.
