Truck Accidents Attorney

Accidents involving big rigs, semi trucks and other commercial trucking vehicles can be absolutely devastating for victims and their families. Hiring the right Truck Accident Attorney is critical.  The skilled team at the Law Office of Robert Gluck has proven experience fighting for the rights of truck accident victims. Since these vehicles are so much larger than other passenger occupant vehicles on the road, commercial truck drivers and trucking companies have additional rules and regulations to follow. Truck accident cases are often much more complicated than traditional automobile accident cases. It’s essential to have a Truck Accident Attorney who understands the federal and state safety regulations and agencies involved in this type of case.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the agency tasked with regulating the commercial trucking industry. There are a variety of regulations associated with the safe travel and transport of commercial vehicles on U.S. roadways. Since driver fatigue and drowsy driving are such huge problems in the commercial trucking industry, there are hours of service regulations, which dictate how long a driver can stay behind the wheel. The FMCSA also has regulations about the maintenance and safety of engines, transmissions, brakes, tires and other mechanical parts. Additionally, there are even regulations associated with transporting hazardous materials and proper loading of cargo. These vehicles have to be safe and roadworthy. Unfortunately, due to human error, negligence or willful misconduct, violations of federal and state safety regulations do occur. Additional investigative measures may be necessary to determine if the truck driver, truck and trucking company were all in full compliance with all safety regulations at the time of the accident. Your Truck Accident Attorney can stay on top of any ongoing investigative efforts.

After any type of truck accident, the trucking company involved will typically send lawyers, insurance adjusters, investigators, engineers, accident reconstruction experts and others directly to the scene. These people haven’t been sent to the scene of the accident to assist you or to help you get justice or compensation for your injuries. They’ve been sent to minimize damage, liability and exposure for the trucking company. This is why it’s essential to get in touch with a Truck Accident Attorney who will have your back. At the Law Office of Robert Gluck, you get Robert Gluck’s cell phone number. If you have any concerns associated with the investigation or the case, you can call Robert. It will likely be necessary to get an additional investigator to the scene of the accident as soon as possible to document things like road debris and skid marks, which can degrade over time.
