Time For Your Annual Certificate?

Louisiana truck drivers must have Annual CertificatesDid you know that truck drivers must submit an Annual Certificate of Violations to their employers each year.  This is required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations which govern interstate truck drivers and their employers.  This certificate must include a complete list of any violations that the driver received during the last year.

If you have been injured in a truck accident by a negligent truck driver, your attorney should obtain a copy of the driver’s annual certificate of violations.  This should be requested from the truck driver as well as his employer.  This certificate could help your injury lawyer successfully prove safety violations by the truck driver that caused your accident.
