When its car versus truck, truck always wins.  Of special concern, especially to Missouri motorists who operate cars on our state's interstates, is what is being done to make sure that the truck drivers are driving safe.  A reoccurring problem is that truck drivers are operating their large tractor-trailers over the hours of service.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has set guidelines that restrict the truck driver's hours of consistent uninterrupted driving to a maximum of 11 consecutive hours, following 10 consecutive hours off-duty.  The theory is that after 11 consecutive hours behind the wheel, a truck driver begins to experience fatigue, the most common cause of tractor-trailer accidents in the State of Missouri.

If you have been seriously injured in a truck crash, visit the Truck Crash Injury Victim Information Website at Schultz Legal Group.  Also, don't hesitate to contact a Missouri truck crash injury attorney for immediate assistance with your injury claim.  Rest assured that the trucking company has dispatched its own investigation team to the crash site to collect data and begin to build a case against the victims to reduce compensation.  Trucking companies pay out millions of dollars in personal injury settlements each year, but only to those victims represented by a personal injury attorney.  Since most truck crashes cause serious injury or wrongful death, insurance companies often try to coerce victims into a quick settlement, which is usually tens or hundreds of thousands less that what is fair.
