Truckers are well connected to the trucking companies they work for. They receive regular updates about the weather conditions in the places they are traveling and have more than enough notice when entering areas that are covered in snow, fog or ice.
As professionals with commercial drivers’ licenses (CDLs), they have a duty to properly operate their semi-trucks in these most dangerous conditions. This duty comes from more than just the reasonable caution that all drivers must use. It exists due to federal regulations that require commercial truck drivers to stop their vehicle in certain weather conditions.
At Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald LLP, we are familiar with the special rules for commercial drivers and we know when drivers fail to follow them. Our team of personal injury attorneys holds truck drivers and trucking companies accountable for the harm caused when trucks are involved in weather-related accidents.
