New York City Hours of Service Violation Lawyers

Commercial truck drivers have strenuous jobs that require them to stay behind the wheel for hours on end to deliver their cargo. As such, many truck drivers become overworked when trying to make a deadline. Luckily, there are laws in place that set strict guidelines for how many hours a trucker can drive each day.

Unfortunately, many trucking companies neglect to abide by these guidelines, which is a crime. If you or someone you love was injured in an accident with a truck driver, contact the New York City hours of service violation lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273 to learn more about seeking compensation for your losses.

Legal Service Hours

According to United States law, a truck driver may drive no more than 11 hours in one day. Before driving again, he or she must rest for at least 10 hours. In a seven day period, a trucker may drive no more than 60 hours.

Truckers are legally required to log these hours on every trip. In a court case, these logs may prove valuable to the affected individual, as they may show that the trucking company forced the driver to violate hours of service regulations.

To begin gathering the information and evidence needed to fight your case, you should contact an experienced truck accident attorney as soon as possible.
