This episode focuses on U.S. highway truck accident lawsuits, covering common causes such as driver fatigue, hours-of-service violations, overloaded or improperly secured cargo, and vehicle maintenance failures. We outline federal and state regulatory frameworks (FMCSA rules), typical evidence sources—black box ELD data, driver logs, maintenance records—and how investigators reconstruct crash causation for civil claims.
Practical advice includes preserving scene evidence, obtaining police and DOT reports, documenting injuries and lost income, and understanding commercial carrier liability versus individual driver responsibility. We explain typical compensation categories (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering) and the importance of prompt legal consultation given statute deadlines. Content is informational and intended to help accident victims take informed next steps.
