The Legal System      Litigation resulting from a trucking accident or a commercial motor vehicle can, and most often does, become remarkably complex. Not only do the involved vehicles and cargo come in all shapes, sizes, and specifications, the owners or companies provide a multitude of varying services. Therefore, driver and equipment application plays an integral role in determining the proximate causes of an accident.

     Moreover, the trucking industry and operators of commercial motor vehicles are engaged in a regulated trade, affecting every facet of the industry’s operation as it relates to public safety, employee safety, and property damage. The myriad of regulatory standards and the accepted industry standards of care is, or should be, common knowledge for industry owners and their employees. More often than not, for a litigator or for a jurist, discernment of the issues can seem like navigating through a maze. The ability to understand and succinctly explain the finer details of the business practices, equipment operations, regulatory and industry standards are essential elements in the handling of these cases.
