Our Trucking Laws Both the United States and our state of Texas have different laws and regulations both on the state and federal level which regulate all trucking and hauling companies and commercial truck drivers. When any of them violate these laws, it can frequently end in a serious collision, including injuries to otherwise innocent motorists. Any legal entity or person who violates these safety regulations and laws and then causes an injury should always be held financially accountable for their negligent actions. When you need representation for violations of these laws, call one of our Truck Accident Attorneys in Midland and we can help.

The "Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations" (FMCSRs) The Federal agency known as the "Motor Carrier Safety Administration" (FMCSA) both enacts and is in charge of enforcing a variety of different types of regulations that apply to any and all commercial vehicles which operate in interstate commerce in our United States. This can include buses, flatbed trucks, tanker trucks, semi - trucks and hazardous materials (HAZMAT) trucks. These rules and regulations set the expected standard of behavior covering many, if not most, aspects of trucking. You need an attorney who knows and understands these rules and regulations. Our truck accident lawyers in Midland at Carabin Shaw have litigated them for years and know them far better than your average car accident lawyer.

State Traffic Laws in Texas Along with the FMCSRs, all heavy truck operators are always expected to fully follow all of the local and state traffic laws when driving on Texas highways and byways. These are similar to the laws that apply to any other vehicle driver. They prevent violations of traffic signals, improper passing, reckless driving, following too closely and speeding, among many other things. These laws tend to be applied more strictly to heavy commercial trucks. If the truck driver violated one of these, he or she is probably negligent.
