Hackensack Truck Driver Rules Lawyer
Aggressively Investigating Truck Accident Cases and Pursuing Clients' Maximum Recovery
A high percentage of truck accident cases could be prevented if truck drivers simply followed federal regulations put in place to prevent driver fatigue. Numerous federal regulations govern the amount of time truckers can drive in given time periods to ensure that drowsiness doesn't lead to careless and inattentive driving and to falling asleep at the wheel.
Unfortunately, truck drivers and transportation companies are often paid by the job, meaning profits and pay can increase when additional driving hours lead to faster load deliveries. The result? Accidents, injuries and the need for financial compensation for victims' medical bills, property damage, pain and suffering and diminished quality of life.
The attorneys of Ridgewood law firm of Seigel Capozzi Law Firm, LLC, have investigated dozens of semi truck accidents and are highly skilled at proving that preventable fatigue contributed to serious accidents. We can work to acquire and analyze:
- Drivers' logs
- Driver and witness testimony
- Weigh station and cell phone records (which can demonstrate how long drivers were on the road)
Drivers and trucking companies are often reluctant to produce documents and testimony that are vital to the success of truck accident cases. We know what to look for and we know how to get it. Our approach and diligence have resulted dozens of high-value settlements and jury verdicts since 1976. For more information, please contact our office.
