Truck Accident in Mississippi?
Don’t wait to talk to a lawyer about your commercial truck accident in Mississippi. Current laws and regulations limit the time 18-wheeler truck drivers and commercial trucking companies must keep records. Act now before critical evidence related to your Mississippi truck accident is destroyed.
When you or your family have been in an accident with an 18-wheeler, hiring a lawyer and making a timely legal claim is critical. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) permit trucking companies to destroy all trucking records, including driver logbooks, after a 6-month period. Courts are limited in fairly adjudicating your case if they don't have this important evidence. Waiting too long to seek legal advice and make a claim could seriously jeopardize your ability to receive compensation for catastrophic injury or deaths in your family.
