Beachwood, Ohio personal injury attorney Jeffrey A. Leikin talks about the rules and regulations that apply in truck accidents. Trucking accidents present unique challenges due to the complex state and federal regulations governing how truck drivers operate on highways and roads. These regulations also dictate how shippers secure loads, including requirements for fastening and positioning cargo within the vehicle. An attorney well-versed in these laws is crucial for effectively managing such cases, as these rules span from pre-ride inspections to the vehicle’s operation on the road.

In one recent case, the attorney represented a truck driver in Boston, Massachusetts, where the shipping company had failed to secure the load properly inside the tractor-trailer. When the driver made a sharp right turn, the improperly secured load shifted, causing the trailer to tip over. The attorney’s expertise in federal regulations led to a mid-six-figure verdict for the driver.

Given the distinctive aspects of trucking accident cases, having an experienced lawyer is essential. This firm has the knowledge and skill to handle these cases effectively, working to achieve the best possible results for clients.
