Columbia, Missouri Motor Carrier Safety Regulation Violations Attorney

Missouri Truck Driver Fatigue Lawyer

Commercial truck drivers are bound by certain rules that govern their conduct. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) were put in place to ensure the safety of all motorists, as well as the drivers. Among other things, FMCSRs put restrictions on drivers with regard to the amount of sleep they need to get and the types of loads they can carry. FMCSRs also have strict prohibitions against driving under the influence of intoxicants or drugs.

Violations of these regulations often constitute driver or trucking company negligence and can create a basis for a lawsuit in which a driver caused a serious injury accident. These cases can be extremely complex, and it is important to have an experienced Columbia, Missouri, Motor Carrier Safety Regulation violations lawyer who knows the law and will fight to protect your interests.
