Truck Driver Error

Indiana Truck Accident Attorney

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations are in place to govern the hiring, training, and operation of commercial trucks. The regulations are designed to increase the safety for everyone sharing the road with big trucks. Unfortunately, the FMCSA cannot strictly enforce the regulations, and truck drivers routinely avoid weigh stations and check points. The result is that many collisions are caused by truck drivers who are too tired, improperly trained, or in too much of a hurry to reach their destination.

For more than thirty-five years, Tabor Law Firm has been helping people recover compensation after being seriously injured in truck accidents on our Indiana highways caused by truck operator error. Truck drivers who drive too fast, drive drunk, or simply fail to follow emergency stopping procedures are a danger to others on the road, as well as themselves. It is estimated that more than 900 people will be killed in accidents on Indiana roads this year, including scores killed in side swipe, ride under, and head on collisions resulting from truck driver negligence and mistakes.
