Are there special laws that apply to commercial trucks in Florida?
- Yes. There are multiple laws or rules that do apply to Florida commercial trucks, especially those vehicles that are engaged in interstate transit. Those types of vehicles have very specific laws that govern how many hours a truck driver can be driving in any given period of time, either during the day or in a week span. Therefore, that could be evidence of negligence if you have been rear-ended or hit by a truck. Therefore, it's very important to have an experienced attorney who knows where to look and what documents to request from the companies to show all of the various ways that the driver was negligent.
