Unlike typical car accidents, truck accidents involve complex federal and state laws. State and federal regulations cover an array of topics to ensure safety on the roads, including:

• Medical requirements, hours on the road, and drug and alcohol testing to qualify drivers for commercial licenses
• Carrier requirements related to transport of hazardous materials, equipment providers, and weight limitations
• Special permit requirements for overweight or over-dimensional vehicles
