We Protect Truck Accident Injury Victims
State and federal regulations govern the trucking industry, in part to ensure the safety of other drivers on the road. Despite these laws, however, trucking accidents happen all too frequently. Trucking companies and their drivers sometimes cut corners and find ways around the safety regulations, which can cause catastrophic accidents.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a trucking accident in Florida, the Law Offices of Charles R. Scully can help you. Our experienced attorneys have handled numerous truck accident claims and know how to fight the trucking company's insurance carrier. We will conduct an investigation of your accident, reviewing all evidence, including the truck driver's log. If we find irregularities in the log, we will use that information to support your injury claim. Please call our office at 866-611-4205 to schedule a free consultation with a St. Petersburg fraudulent truck driver logs lawyer.
Proving Truck Driver Negligence
Trucking industry regulations place limits on the number of hours a driver may drive at one time to avoid driver fatigue. When the limit is reached, the driver should pull off the road and get adequate sleep. To make delivery dates on time, however, drivers often exceed the hours limitation.
Sometimes drivers will drive for 24 hours in a row without taking a rest break. They may record fraudulent information in their driver logbook to cover up hour violations. If we discover that a driver is carrying a fake logbook, we can use that as evidence of driver negligence.
The trucking company will have an accident response team of trained insurance adjusters, investigators and lawyers at work to protect them from liability. You need a law firm to protect your interests and stand up to the trucking company and its insurance carrier.
