Truck drivers and companies operating in Utah must follow both federal and state-level safety rules. These regulations are enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT).
Important requirements include:
Violating these regulations can be considered negligence in a civil lawsuit. When a crash occurs, identifying which rule was broken can make the difference between partial liability and full accountability for the trucking company.
Commercial truck collisions often cause catastrophic injuries because of the size and force of these vehicles. Occupants of smaller cars rarely escape with no injuries, and recovery can take months or years.
Common injuries include:
In some cases, victims lose their lives to these injuries. Families pursuing wrongful death claims may seek compensation for funeral costs, medical bills, and the loss of companionship and support.
Truck accident cases are complex because multiple parties can share responsibility. Trucking companies may blame drivers, mechanics, or third-party contractors. Insurers often delay or deny claims by disputing the cause of the crash or the extent of injuries.
Our team can obtain company records, maintenance logs, and electronic data that prove how safety rules were violated. By building strong factual support, we counter common defense arguments and strengthen your claim for compensation.
Under Utah law, you generally have four years from the date of a truck accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can lead to lost evidence and may bar your ability to recover damages. Acting promptly gives your lawyer time to gather records, interview witnesses, and preserve essential data from the trucking company before it is deleted or overwritten.
Truck accidents can leave victims facing high medical bills, long-term rehabilitation, and uncertainty about how to move forward. Holding trucking companies accountable requires deep knowledge of federal and Utah safety regulations, as well as the determination to stand up to large insurers.
