Truck Accident Statutes in Arkansas

A thorough understanding of the trucking accident statutes in Arkansas is essential for qualified representation by a trucking accident attorney. The Arkansas trucking accident attorneys at The Hershewe Law Firm can explain how the trucking accident laws can impact your rights when you’ve been injured in a truck accident.

All interstate trucking is subject to the laws adopted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and state laws apply to specific intrastate trucking situations. These trucking laws regulate safety issues such as hours of driving, vehicle maintenance and inspection, vehicle size and weight restrictions, and driver training and qualification. One of the most important laws limits the maximum number of hours a driver can operate his. Drivers and trucking companies are motivated by profit to extend the legal limit on this statute. In some cases the responsibility for observance of these trucking statutes extends beyond the driver to the trucking company or carrier who is legally obliged to enforce these laws through monitoring. Additionally, liability may fall upon a municipality, county or the state for improper design or maintenance of roads under their jurisdiction.

The Arkansas accident attorneys at The Hershewe Law Firm are experienced in handling all types of trucking accidents claims that may result from infractions of the trucking safety laws, including dangerous driving, improper loading, hazardous road design or improper maintenance.
