There are thousands of heavy trucks on the roads today in America. Because of their weight and power, accidents involving semi-tractor trailers and other large trucks often result in serious injuries and great property loss. There are federal and state regulations which specifically apply to trucking operations. The United States Department of Transportation has set forth rules governing the hiring and supervision of truck drivers, the maintenance of tractors, trailers and heavy trucks, and the daily operations of trucking companies. Apart from federal rules and regulations, there are often parallel state regulations governing trucking operations.

Foley & Small has years of experience dealing with what are often tragic truck accidents. We know the applicable rules and regulations. We are familiar with the various procedures and methods used by trucking companies in their operations. We work with trucking industry experts to assist us in reviewing and evaluating cases and preparing cases for trial. Apart from experts specific to the trucking industry, we often utilize accident reconstructionists, who are trained engineers to review and analyze the data gleaned and discovered in the investigation of a trucking accident. We use investigators to visit, photograph, measure and otherwise inspect accident scenes and also the vehicles involved in the accident.
