What to Know About Arizona Truck Laws
Did you know: Trucking Regulations Can Sway Fault!
In Arizona, trucking companies are required to adhere to strict safety regulations, including those related to vehicle maintenance and driver qualifications. If a trucking company or driver fails to meet these standards and causes an accident, they can be held liable for your injuries and losses. That means fault may not be immediately obvious without thorough investigation. A lawyer could uncover regulation errors that can turn a case in your favor.
Our experienced attorneys will ensure that all responsible parties are held accountable, including the trucking company, the driver, and any third parties involved.
