A trucker's ability to see the entire road is crucial during all kinds of weather conditions. The risk of visibility accidents increases in the early morning hours, when truckers tend to hit the road and when ground-level fog is thick during some times of the year.
Visibility plays a role in how some truck accidents happen. When fog gets thick, commercial truck drivers must use extra caution. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires truckers to slow down during poor visibility conditions or pull off the roadway if it gets too dangerous to see.
A trucker could be held liable for your injuries if you were in a truck accident because of poor visibility. A rear-end collision on a highway could have deadly consequences. If you or a loved one sustains an injury in a truck accident in which a driver failed to see you, you may be entitled to compensation. A seasoned attorney at Flager & Yockey, P.C. can fight for your legal rights.
