Truck Accident Attorney

Virginia Truck Accident Lawyer

Large truck accidents are usually serious and sometimes fatal for the people in passenger cars. Broken bones, disfigurement, paralysis, and head traumas are just a few of the serious complications a truck accident victim can face. Dealing with the medical bills, lost wages, and the hardship that follow such injuries is challenging to say the least.

If you’ve been injured by a potentially negligent driver in a Virginia truck accident, you can benefit by having a knowledgeable Virginia truck accident lawyer on your side. At Skolrood Law Firm, we have a thorough understanding of both state and federal laws regulating commercial trucks.

Did You Know?

Here’s an important fact: The Commonwealth Transportation Board in Virginia is responsible for adopting motor carrier safety regulations (Va. Code § 33.1-12(3)). Such regulations cover requirements concerning how many hours a truck driver is allowed to drive during a 24-hour period, and more. In the state of Virginia, that total is 13 hours. These rules are in place to prevent truck accidents caused by driver fatigue, which is a common cause of crashes.

In addition, truck drivers and their employers are required to keep driving logs. In these logs, drivers record their trip information and time on the roadways. These records are helpful in proving the truck driver’s or company’s negligence of the law. If a driver was over his or her 13-hour limit, then he or she is likely responsible for the accident and the injuries of other people.

Time Is Ticking

Here’s another important fact. Trucking companies are typically required to keep records for six months. What does this mean for you as a truck accident victim? You need to take action fast.
