The Dangers of Macon, Georgia Truck Accidents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is responsible for setting national regulations for truck driver safety. The FMCSA has many specific guidelines designed to reduce the chances of a truck crash occurring. These guidelines deal with everything from maximum drive time to maintenance inspections on commercial vehicles.
Truck drivers and trucking companies are required to follow all FMCSA regulations, as well as to follow all state laws and to obey the rules of the road. Drivers are also expected to exercise reasonable caution when driving commercial vehicles and trucking companies are expected to have reasonable policies in place to protect the public.
Unfortunately, truck drivers and trucking companies can sometimes fall short of fulfilling their obligations. When this happens, truck accidents can occur as a result of their negligence or failure to follow safety rules.
Accident victims hurt in a truck crash and surviving family members of those killed in a truck accident can take legal action to recover compensation for medical bills, lost income/wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other losses.
