The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) governs weight and load restrictions for all commercial trucks hauling products, materials and equipment across our nation's roads and highways. In the event of an accident involving a semi tractor-trailer, an unbalanced, unsecured or overweight trailer puts everyone in the vicinity at risk.
If you were injured in a truck accident, either in a crash with the cab or trailer, or because of an unsecured load in the Central Valley region or Northern California, talk to an attorney at Arata, Swingle, Sodhi & Van Egmond in Modesto right away. We are the region's leading truck accident litigation firm, representing truck accident victims in communities throughout Northern California. We know how FMCSA violations apply to truck loads, and we know how to counter the strategies truck companies often use to minimize their liability.
