Minnesota commercial Truck Accident Lawyer and Attorney
Every year, auto accidents in this country kill over 40,000 people nationwide. Many of these accidents involve interstate commercial trucks. Accidents involving commercial trucks involve a disproportionate amount of serious injuries involved because of the sheer size of the vehicles. The typical large commercial truck weighs in excess of 80,000 pounds while a typical car may weigh as little as 3,000 pounds.
There are many federal and state regulations in place for commercial vehicles. These regulations exist to promote and enforce truck safety on our nation’s roadways and include speed limits, weight restrictions, vehicle maintenance requirements, and special licensing requirements. Violation of these safety rules often has dramatic and devastating results.
The Federal Highway Administration estimates that twenty-four percent of commercial vehicles were ordered off our nations roadways for truck safety violations. The same study also revealed that nearly eight percent of drivers were taken off the road for other violations.
