NY Truck Accident Attorney
Truck accidents aren't just bigger car accidents — they involve federal regulations (FMCSR), commercial insurance policies with meaningful limits, multiple potentially liable parties (driver, carrier, broker, shipper, maintenance contractor), and often catastrophic injuries. We handle NY truck accident cases from first call through trial.
Commercial trucks weighing 10,000+ pounds are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) — a dense body of federal rules covering driver qualifications, hours of service limits, drug and alcohol testing, vehicle maintenance, cargo securement, and record-keeping. Violations of FMCSR can establish negligence per se in NY court.
We know how to subpoena a trucking company's electronic logging device (ELD) records, driver qualification file, drug test history, vehicle maintenance records, hours of service logs, and GPS data — before the trucking company "loses" or destroys them. Preservation letters go out within days of our retention.
Unlike car accidents (where liability is typically just the at-fault driver), NY truck accidents can involve multiple potentially liable parties:
Commercial trucks are required by federal law to carry minimum liability insurance of $750,000 for interstate general freight, $1 million for passenger carriers, and up to $5 million for hazardous material haulers. In practice, many carriers maintain $1-5 million policies plus excess coverage. Combined with the catastrophic nature of truck crash injuries and the clear negligence often established by FMCSR violations, NY truck cases regularly produce six- and seven-figure settlements.
