Utilizing Federal and Missouri Trucking Laws
Trucking accidents in Adair County, Missouri, are governed by a web of state and federal regulations.
Unlike a typical fender-bender, a commercial wreck triggers the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) guidelines, which dictate strict standards for driver conduct and vehicle maintenance.
Our legal team focuses on identifying specific violations that prove negligence, including:
- Hours of Service (HOS) Violations: Analyzing Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data to see if a driver exceeded legal driving limits, leading to fatigue-related crashes.
- Negligent Maintenance: Investigating whether the carrier failed to inspect brakes, tires, or steering systems as required by Missouri Revised Statutes section 307.400.
- Improper Cargo Loading: Overloaded trailers or unsecured loads can cause catastrophic jackknife or rollover accidents.
- Driver Qualification: Scrutinizing personnel files to ensure the driver was properly licensed and medically qualified under federal law.
