Minnesota Truck Accident Attorneys & Lawyers

When a collision involves a 50,000 pound truck and a 5,000 pound car, the car never wins. Both the driver and passengers in an automobile are likely to sustain serious injuries in an accident involving commercial vehicles such as a semi-truck, 18 wheeler, tractor-trailer, dump truck, garbage truck, delivery truck, tanker truck or ambulance.

Special Laws Governing Truckers

Special laws govern the operation of commercial vehicles on Minnesota roadways. Truck drivers are subject to restrictions concerning the number of hours per day they can operate their vehicle through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and must possess a Class A driver's license. They are also subject to random drug and alcohol testing and background checks. Both the driver of the truck and the owner of the truck, or trailer, may be liable for damages that result from a Minnesota truck accident.

Causes of Truck Accidents in Minnesota

Truck accidents arise from a number of causes, including:

• Poor Weather;

• Crosswinds;

• Falling Debris;

• Unsafe Passing;

• Poor Maintenance;

• Truck Driver Fatigue;

• Improper Loading;

• Alcohol or Drug Use;

• Brake Malfunction; and

Statute of Limitations for a Truck Accident Lawsuit

The statue of limitations for a truck accident lawsuit is six years (two years if the accident involves a wrongful death claim). However, if you or a loved one have been injured in a Minnesota truck accident, it is important to speak with reputable personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Trucks that are involved in an accident may be repaired and back on the road rather quickly and critical evidence may lost.
