The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration mandates that commercial trucks be adequately insured. For example, a tractor-trailer carrying non-hazardous goods that weigh more than 10,001 pounds, must be insured for at least $750,000 in collision coverage. In many instances, large truck companies have insurance policies that are even larger (typically in excess of $1 million in coverage).
As you can see, there are many different ways to hold a truck operator and the truck company accountable for your harms and losses. To get a better assessment of your legal options, it is important to retain the services of a skilled and experienced Las Vegas personal injury attorney.
