What Rules Do Commercial Delivery Trucks Have to Follow in West Virginia?

Different laws apply to commercial drivers and the companies they work for depending on whether they are transporting products or providing transportation for people.

It also makes a difference whether the truck operates across state lines or stays within the state. Semi trucks that carry goods across the country, for example, have to follow federal safety regulations.

An experienced West Virginia personal injury lawyer will know what set of laws applies to your collision with a truck.

Commercial delivery trucks that operate locally must follow key regulations that govern these factors:

Size
Weight
Load

Overloaded trucks, such as coal trucks you might see around West Virginia, create extra hazards for other drivers. It’s harder for them to stop when their load is too heavy.

And overloading creates extra liability for the trucking company when their driver hurts you in a crash. As in every personal injury case, negligence is the key factor.

Talk to the delivery truck accident attorneys at Shaffer & Shaffer to be sure you get the full protections available to you under the law and that the driver is held accountable for his or her actions.

You pay no attorney fee until you win compensation.

You can start by having a conversation with us about your accident. No costs or obligations are required for an initial consultation to see what you can do next.

What Compensation Can You Get After a Delivery Vehicle Accident?

You can receive financial compensation for multiple types of costs you incur after a commercial truck injures you.

These include:

Medical expenses
Lost wages
Property damage and loss

But those are just the simplest forms of personal injury compensation. An experienced West Virginia personal injury lawyer can help you truly maximize your financial relief.

For example, while your medical bills are easy to add up, your lawyer can help you secure harder-to-measure compensation for inconvenience, pain and suffering.

You also shouldn’t be limited to payment for health care costs and lost wages that have already occurred. Your claim should account for future medical costs and lost earnings, too.

If your injuries are catastrophic and life-changing—if you will be living with disabling effects permanently, or will need someone to help you care for yourself—personal injury compensation can cover that.

And if you have lost a loved one to an accident caused by someone who acted negligently, that’s called a wrongful death under personal injury law. Although it can’t erase your grief, a personal claim can help you get compensation to help you move forward.

Make sure you contact someone who can explore all the options available to you. Talk to Shaffer & Shaffer.
