Truck Driver Regulations
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is a government agency that imposes limits on all truck drivers and companies to keep drivers and others on the road safe. This includes limits on the number of miles traveled, hours logged, and weight of the cargo, as examples. There are penalties for not following these guidelines.
A truck driver who has been driving under the influence may also be subject to criminal penalties. If the driver’s blood-alcohol concentration measures 0.08% or higher, then this is considered well above the legal limit, and he or she could be driving while intoxicated.
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one as a result of another person's negligence, you deserve to be fully compensated for your losses. The simple fact is that you should not be forced to pay the price for another person's careless or reckless actions.
The legal system gives you the right to seek justice for these wrongs — take advantage of your rights. The most effective step you can take to secure your right to fair compensation for your losses is to hire a Cincinnati personal injury attorney to advocate on your behalf and represent your case to the insurance company.
