Truck Accident in Nebraska?Don’t wait to talk to a lawyer about your commercial truck accident in Nebraska. 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 Nebraska 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.
