Ruth C. Smith Asheville Personal Injury Lawyer

Truck Accidents Deadly

Tractor trailer accident imageFederal law allows for tractor-trailer trucks to carry as much as 80,000 of combined weight and be length up to 75 feet.  A passenger car typically weighs only 3,000 lbs.  Do the math, and you can see why 12% of all highway fatalities are attributed to trucking wrecks.  98% of the time, it is the person in the passenger car who suffers serious injury.
 

Trucking law is complex, with a myriad of federal and state regulations.  Many trucking companies follow these regulations,  many do not. 
 
When selecting an attorney, it is imperative to choose a lawyer who has experience in handling tractor-trailer cases.  For over ten years, Ruth Smith has handled commercial trucking cases, she knows the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, and she knows the right experts and evidence to obtain for these serious cases.
