Personal Injury claims in cases involving commercial vehicles will require a special lawyer-one who is knowledgeable with regard to car-truck accident claims that require a different approach than a typical automobile collision case.
A great car truck accident lawyer must understand how to properly handle a car-truck collision case; this requires special knowledge of the law and of proper investigation.
The US Motor Carrier law imposes special requirements on trucks that operate in interstate commerce, including restrictions on the amount of time a driver can operate in a given time period, log book rules, special rules about operations in bad weather, etc.
The State of Minnesota has adopted most of those rules. The State of Minnesota also has a special Commercial Vehicle Inspection Team that will investigate crashes involving large commercial trucks.
Large trucks have recording devices (“Black Boxes“) that provide valuable evidence to prove the fault of the truck driver.
Federal law has special rules regarding investigation after a big commercial truck crashes.
