What Does the FMCSA Regulate?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is a part of the U.S. Department of Transportation. They are responsible for the oversight and regulation of motor carriers and commercial vehicles in the U.S., including truck drivers and companies.

Part of the FMCSA’s oversight includes:

Training and licensing criteria for truckers to transport passengers
Truck owner and truck driver insurance requirements
The maximum weight and length trucks are allowed to operate at
Alcohol and drug impairment limits in correlation with New Mexico drunk driving laws
Commercial driver’s licenses
Requirements for truck inspections
Drug and alcohol testing requirements for truck drivers
Regulating cargo securement requirements
Allowable driving window (the number of consecutive driving hours with consecutive rest hours)
Required records
Hazardous materials identification

A New Mexico personal injury attorney will review the details of your case to determine if any rules and regulations were violated and contributed to the crash. This review helps determine who is at fault for the injuries you sustained and the damages you endured.

NM Trucking Law & Regulation Violations

Once your trucking accident attorney has determined that there have been FMCSA violations, there are several actions that the liable parties can face.

You Can File an Accident Claim

You may have grounds for a civil claim seeking financial compensation for your economic and non-economic damages as applicable under New Mexico law.

The At-fault Party May Face Penalties

Depending on the details of your case, the at-fault parties may also face civil fines, license suspension or revocation, and other penalties.

An Albuquerque Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help

Your truck accident lawyer will have several responsibilities when taking on your case. We build a solid case by:

Getting the tractor-trailer inspected
Obtaining copies of the safety inspection records
Obtaining copies of the truck’s black box
Obtaining the truck driver’s logbook and employment records, including drug test results
Getting the truck driver’s criminal history, if any
Investigating the truck driver’s credentials, including their professional and personal driving records
Investigating the trucking company’s business-wide practices, including hiring and handling of former FMCSA violations
Getting the truck repair logs

These are just a few of the different tasks your attorney will be responsible for in working to build a robust case against those who caused your physical, emotional, and financial pain.
