At Moody Law, a team of three attorneys and five paralegals may be involved in your case. We are experts on the laws that regulate the trucking industry, which are set in place by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Florida Department of Transportation.

Because of the damage that an 18-wheeler, tractor trailer, semi or other large commercial truck can cause, truck drivers are held to stringent safety standards under the law. Trucking companies and their employees are expected to follow rules and regulations regarding time spent driving, truck maintenance, hazardous road conditions, and alcohol and drug use. Truck drivers must also obey an extensive set of specialized traffic laws.

We examine all circumstances and aspects of trucking accidents to help our clients collect the damages they need to rebuild their lives following an accident. These damages can cover medical costs, loss of current and future wages, and possibly punitive damages for pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life.
