Yes, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is a federal agency that has promulgated regulations which apply to all truck drivers no matter what state they are in, traveling through, or going to. These regulations create restrictions on truck driver conduct, equipment requirements, and obligations on a truck driver and trucking companies. Many of these regulations involve the safety of others on or around the roadway. If a truck driver caused a Fort Lauderdale car accident due to the violation of an FMCSA regulation, it may result in a finding of negligence against the truck driver and trucking company.
