Columbia Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney

St. Louis Delivery Truck Injury Attorney

Most commercial delivery trucks on Missouri city roads and state highways are subject to the same Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulation as the large 18-wheeler semi-tractor trailers out on the interstate. Drivers of delivery vans over a certain size and weight are held to a higher licensing standard and truck company owners are subject to many of the provisions of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1969, and subsequently amended.

If you were injured in an accident involving a commercial truck or vehicle of any type or size in Missouri, the truck accident injury trial law firm of Bley & Evans, LC, is ready to protect your rights. Our attorneys have earned recognition for our diligent, focused work on behalf of victims of truck driver and truck company negligence throughout Missouri.
