Every day, people are injured on our nation’s highways because the drivers of other vehicles fail to pay proper attention. Trucking accidents are particularly harmful – and often are fatal – due to the size and speed of the vehicles involved. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations require trucking companies to take measures to protect other drivers on the road. These regulations attempt to protect other drivers by requiring trucking companies to use careful hiring practices, establish safety protocols, restrict drivers’ hours and mandate proper record keeping. When such regulations are ignored, the risks to other drivers increase dramatically which may lead to catastrophic injuries or death.
