Jefferson County Flat-Bed Truck Crash Lawyer
Flat-bed trailers used for hauling oversized machinery, products and materials are regulated under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA), just as every other semi, tractor-trailer or 18-wheeler is. Truck companies are expected to ensure that the drivers are properly licensed and trained to handle emergency situations on the road and that trucks and trailers are maintained according to a maintenance schedule. Truck accidents involving flat-bed trailers often result in the most serious injuries because the exposed cargo is secured improperly for weight distribution. When an accident occurs, freight is not contained within an enclosed trailer, putting everyone in the vicinity at risk of flying objects.
