Texas Truck Accident Lawyers

Since large trucks are so dangerous on the roads, are there special laws to regulate them?

Most definitely. Most federal trucking laws can be found in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This means that some aspects of a trucking accident may fall under federal jurisdiction and may need to be resolved in federal court. Many states also have their own set of trucking regulations which may govern things from the maintenance of trucks to how much rest a truck driver needs during a trip. Other laws may limit the liability of the trucking industry when it comes to accidents. One important aspect of trucking regulations is that all drivers are required to keep a log of their activities.
