Indiana Truck Accident Lawyer

June 17, 2010 | Comments Off

John P. Young is your Indiana Truck Accident Lawyer.  Mr. Young practices Indiana truck accident law out of the Indianapolis law firm Young and Young.  Young and Young has been working with seriously injured Hoosiers since 1954 to insure that they have the compensation they need to protect their families and pay their bills. Why do Young and Young and John P. Young represent Hoosiers who have been injured in semi tractor-trailer accidents and large truck accidents?  We represent Hoosiers in trucking accidents and highway crashes because they usually result in serious injuries, and serious injuries to Hoosiers and their families is our specialty.  The injuries are usually serious because of the size difference between a truck and a car or motorcycle.  It is much like the law of gross tonnage at sea, the bigger the vehicle the more damage it can do to another vehicle.

The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is constantly on alert to make sure that truckers meet stringent guidelines to protect Hoosiers and motorists across the U.S.  The FMCSA publishes guidelines for the maintenance and use of trucks. These include:

Size and Weight, Route Designations — Length, Width and Weight Limitations  

Compliance with interstate motor carrier noise emission standards 

Exemptions, commercial zones, and terminal areas 

Receipts and bills 

Passenger Carrier Regulations  

Lease and interchange of vehicles 

Waivers, exemptions, and pilot programs  

Rulemaking procedures—federal motor carrier safety regulations  

General  

Driving of commercial motor vehicles  

Parts and accessories necessary for safe operation  

Inspection, repair, and maintenance 

Transportation of hazardous materials; driving and parking rules  

Transportation of migrant workers 

Employee safety and health standards  

Motor Carrier Vehicle Safety Standards 

49 CFR Subtitle B Chapter III Subchapter B Appendix G  

At Young and Young, we know how to work with the FMCSA to use these guidelines when a large truck accident occurs to determine if the carrier is in violation of safety codes.  If you or a loved one has been injured in a large truck crash, call John P. Young, toll free, 1-888-639-5161 or contact him on the web at john@youngandyoungin.com.  Mr., Young guarantees that there will be no fee unless you recover fair compensation. Call today.
