Maryland Truck Wreck Lawyer 
If you or a loved one suffered injuries, or lost their life, in a truck accident, call a truck wreck lawyer in Maryland today.
Due to the size and weight of large trucks, these accidents often result in serious, life threatening injuries. Months, or years, of medical treatment may be needed. Bills might pile up, and because you cannot work, you might experience extreme financial distress. In addition to this, you may be in pain and unable to enjoy the activities you once loved. These are the types of losses a Maryland truck wreck lawyer can analyze to determine what, if any, compensation is available.
Up to half of all truck accidents are the result of negligence on part of the truck company, truck driver, or other party affiliated with the truck. When negligence is a factor, compensation may be available.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has established a strict set of rules and guidelines that must be followed by drivers and companies of trucks. These guidelines not only pertain to driving on the road, but also maintenance, operation, and supervision of these vehicles. When a driver or company does not follow the federal guidelines, or state laws, and an accident results, a Maryland truck wreck lawyer may be able to hold these parties responsible. If you were injured, or lost a loved one, in a truck accident, please reach out to The Law Firm of Frederick J. Brynn, P.C.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
One of the first steps towards recovering compensation is to determine what caused the accident. A truck accident lawyer MD families can count on will investigate the collision to understand what led up to it, what caused it, and who is responsible. The Law Firm of Frederick J. Brynn, P.C., has handled cases that were a result of:
- Distracted driving
- Driver fatigue
- Driving under the influence
- Tire blowout
- Brake malfunctions
- Poor weather conditions
- Speeding
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Traffic congestion
- Overloaded trucks
- Poorly maintained truck or equipment
Regardless of how obvious negligence might be, it will be up to the plaintiff, or their Maryland truck wreck lawyer, to prove the defendant is liable. This might be accomplished by proving there was a state or federal violation of the truck regulations.
In addition to the above examples of regulation breeches, a lawyer will likely review the driver’s logbook. Under federal law, a driver cannot drive for more than 11 hours in a 24 hour period, or more than 60 hours in 7 days. These rules are often broken which can lead to a drowsy driving accident.
