Maryland Logbook Violation Attorney
Truck drivers hauling commercial freight across roads in the District of Columbia and Maryland are under strict federal regulations to comply with road restrictions, speed limits and safe traffic conditions. In a typical year in Maryland and Washington, D.C., nearly 2,000 accidents occur involving 18-wheeler tractor-trailers and other commercial vehicles. Many of the accidents are the result of truck driver negligence, as they drive themselves too hard to make unrealistic delivery schedules. If a truck driver involved in an accident is found guilty of violating regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA), the driver and truck company can be held liable for significant financial damages paid to anybody injured or surviving family members of anyone killed.
Fay Kaplan Law, P.A., in Washington, D.C., has earned the distinction of being one of the region's leading truck accident litigation law firms, representing plaintiffs throughout Maryland and the District of Columbia. If you were injured in a truck wreck or lost a loved one due to truck driver negligence, talk to one of our trial lawyers before you talk to a representative from the insurance company or truck company.

We do not push you for a quick settlement.
