Moving Truck Accident Lawyer Video

Transcript

So recently, I was handling a case involving a moving truck. Now moving trucks can fall under two categories. For a big interstate moving company that's moving people across country, typically that's done in what we call the big rigs or tractor trailer truck, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations apply. But let's say it's just a local move, say a small moving company, and they're just moving subdivisions or neighborhoods, then the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations may not apply in those cases. In that recent case I was involved in, the driver had never driven the type of truck that was involved in the wreck and was given the keys to the truck only hours before and told to not only load the truck with his coworker, but deliver it across town. Of course, he had no experience driving a vehicle. He caused the wreck and my client was injured. We helped them, had a good recovery, and at the same time, we changed the rules for that moving company so that now they make sure their drivers are experienced and at least have some training in those delivery trucks before they get on our roads.
