The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is responsible for designating and handling regulations for the trucking industry nationwide. If the court finds that the truck driver, the parent company, those responsible for truck inspections, or even truck part manufacturers violated federal regulations, those entities may be liable for injuries and damages that result from a collision. For example, truck drivers are required to take breaks when on the road for an extended amount of time to avoid driver fatigue. One way that a driver or their parent company may be liable for negligence in an accident claim is by driving more than the designated amount of time, doctoring their records, or failing to keep appropriate records of their driving times.
