Ohio Truck Jackknife Accident Lawyer
Professional truck drivers are trained to handle their heavy trucks and cargo loads under adverse weather conditions. Too often, however, truck drivers are encouraged to stay on the road to meet their scheduled deadlines, even when conditions warrant pulling off to find safety at truck stops, until the weather clears.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA) provides guidelines and restrictions for truck operations during inclement weather. If you were in an accident involving a semitrailer or other commercial truck during inclement weather in Ohio, it is possible the driver violated FMCSA regulations. You may be entitled to seek money damages for truck company liability to cover your medical costs, lost earnings and pain and suffering associated with your injuries and financial losses.
