Federal Trucking Regulations
There are a number of federal regulations that govern trucking companies, including how many hours a driver may drive in a given period of time and the weight of the cargo loaded onto the truck. In many cases, a truck accident may result due to the violation of the federal trucking regulations. This is another aspect of the liability we can explore, as the trucking company would be liable for any violations that directly contributed to the accident.
