Semi Truck Safety Violations Can Cause Truck Accidents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) provides rules and regulations for the maintenance of semi trucks. Under FMCSA rules, trucks are required to have adequate lights and reflectors. When trucks do not have these safety measures in place, innocent motorists can be seriously injured.
At Humphrey, Farrington & McClain, P.C., we provide skilled legal help to people who have been injured because of inadequate lights and reflectors. We represent injured truck accident victims in all states, including Illinois, California, Texas and Florida.
We also have the resources to see a case through trial and to shoulder litigation costs until our clients receive compensation. To speak with a truck accident attorney at our firm about your case, contact us online or call 888-353-0491. Our consultations are always free.
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 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 see a truck until it is too late.
