Inadequate Lights and Reflectors Can Cause Truck Accidents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) provides rules and regulations for the maintenance of semi trucks. Under the FMCSA rules and regulations, trucks are required to have adequate lights and reflectors. When trucks do not have these safety measures in check, innocent motorists can be seriously injured. At Humphrey, Farrington & McClain, P.C., in Independence, Missouri, we provide skilled legal help to people who have been injured because of inadequate lights and reflectors.

Inadequate Lights and Reflectors Can Result in Underride Accidents
In an underride accident, a car collides with a truck and continues moving under the side or rear of the truck. Injuries can be catastrophic, and many underride accidents result in fatalities.
Truckers drive at all times of the day and night, in all types of weather conditions. When a truck is kept in proper working order and when all lights and reflectors work, motorists can see them. Fog, darkness, rain, snow and other conditions severely limit drivers' visibility. When a light or reflector does not work, drivers may not even be able to see the truck.
