Poor Weather Truck Accident Lawyer

Driving in poor weather is tricky for any driver. Commercial truck drivers are not only supposed to receive training in how to deal with difficult weather before they take to the road, they should have the experience of knowing when it is time to pull over and wait these poor conditions out.

However, because trucking companies are working with strict deadlines and truckers are paid by how quickly they can transport their cargo, some drivers push through dangerous weather conditions, putting other drivers at risk.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, we at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected, and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses.

Trucking Regulations for Poor Weather Conditions

Truck drivers are responsible for the safe operation of their vehicle. They are also responsible to stop driving when conditions have become hazardous. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has strict federal regulations in place stating:

“Extreme caution in the operation of a commercial motor vehicle shall be exercised when hazardous conditions, such as those caused by snow, ice, sleet, fog, mist, rain, dust, or smoke, adversely affect visibility or traction. Speed shall be reduced when such conditions exist. If conditions become sufficiently dangerous, the operation of the commercial motor vehicle shall be discontinued and shall not be resumed until the commercial motor vehicle can be safely operated. Whenever compliance with the foregoing provisions of this rule increases hazard to passengers, the commercial motor vehicle may be operated to the nearest point at which the safety of passengers is assured.”

When truck drivers are under a deadline or driving negligently, accidents happen and can be devastating. Poor weather is not an excuse for an accident just as deadlines and profits are not an excuse for causing injury or death to innocent victims.
