Truck accidents differ from other accidents with passenger vehicles because of the size and weight of trucks. Trucks are big and heavy, making it difficult to stop quickly. They weigh up to 20 times more than cars. Along with standard driving laws, truck drivers must obey federal regulations regarding hours of rest, speed, truck inspections, and more. Truck drivers are also subject to random drug testing and are required to undergo physical examinations. These regulations make truck accident claims different. This is why it is critical to have an experienced truck accident lawyer on your side.
