The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration introduced the Hours of Service regulations to prevent commercial truckers from spending an excessive number of consecutive hours behind the wheel. When truckers violate these regulations, they (or their employer) can be held liable for any accident that occurs as a result. Evidence of an Hours of Service infraction may include black box data, electronic logging device data, toll booth receipts, timestamped bills of lading, GPS data, and food receipts.
About Michael Waks
Michael Waks is an aggressive advocate for people who have suffered because of someone else’s actions. Michael decided to become a personal injury lawyer when, while clerking at a legal defense firm during law school, he witnessed and was infuriated by asbestos manufacturers spending millions to avoid taking responsibility for the egregious injuries they caused. Immediately after passing the bar, Michael opened his own firm in Long Beach, CA to help the victims of personal injury accidents get every benefit owed them under the law.
