Truck Accidents In Arizona Frequently Cause Catastrophic Injuries
Commercial truck deliveries are an essential part of a healthy and growing economy. Thousands of 18-wheeler rigs, semihaulers, vans and oversized vehicles are on Arizona’s local and state highways delivering the goods that turn the wheels of commerce every day. Despite strict state and federal regulations governing the commercial trucking industry, there are hundreds of catastrophic injuries resulting from truck accidents.

We Hold Drivers And Trucking Companies Accountable For State And Federal Violations
Commercial truck drivers must have a current commercial driver’s license (CDL) among other training to ensure they understand proper braking distances and other critical safety issues.
Under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), commercial truck companies must ensure their drivers abide by a number of safety precautions, including those relating to:
- Overloading/poor loading – Loads must be checked for property balance and weight.
- Vehicle maintenance issues – Drivers must inspect their vehicles prior to each trip to ensure their tires, brakes and engine fluid levels are adequate.
- Scheduling road trips – Overworked or tired drivers are a hazard on the highway. Drivers are required to submit a log of their dates and hours on the road.
This is just the brief list. There are many other complex regulations that may have an impact on the outcome of your personal injury claim.
