Missouri Hazardous Material Truck Accidents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has strict regulations regarding the movement and loading of hazardous materials (hazmat). When truck drivers, truck companies and freight managers overlook FMCSA hazmat regulations, serious injury and death can occur. If you or your family has been affected by a truck accident involving hazardous materials, turn to the Independence, Missouri, law firm of Humphrey, Farrington & McClain, P.C.
