The Role of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in Truck Accident Cases

The Federal Motor Carrier Standards are the goldest standard for trucking. If a business in a trucking crash defendant is using that standard, they have to abide by those rules and regulations that are put forth by the Federal Motor Carriers. Having a law firm like Cordisco and Saile that understands those regulations and what they should be doing is vital to success in your case. Cordisco and Saile, we understand what Federal Motor Carriers are supposed to be doing and why that standard is so important. That standard’s put in place for a reason, and that’s to ensure safety.

And sometimes defendants don’t want to oblige by those regulations and rules. They want to take shortcuts. They want to have drivers out on the road longer. They want to make sure that they’re cutting corners any way they can to make more money. At Cordisco and Saile, we understand that this is what they do. This is the reality; it’s the unspoken. And understanding the Federal Motor Carrier Standard as the gold standard—if you’re coming in below that—you’re not doing your job as a trucking owner, and you need to do that to ensure the safety of people on the road.

And when they don’t do that, and when they don’t follow the standards, we make them pay, and we demonstrate and illustrate how important it is if they just follow the rules. But no, they decided they wanted to come in below, and because of that, you got hurt.
