Commercial Truck Drivers Put 50 Years of Combined Experience in Your Corner

Cumberland County Commercial Truck Driver Lawyers

Protecting the Rights of CDL Holders

When smaller vehicles like automobiles and bicycles are involved in accidents, it can lead to serious consequences. However, because commercial trucks are much larger, they can potentially cause much heavier damage to people and property during a crash. Therefore, the law seeks to impose especially harsh punishments on the drivers of these commercial vehicles.

What many do not realize is that when an accident occurs between a commercial truck and a normal automobile, the driver of the smaller car is often not paying attention or following traffic laws correctly, leading to the collision. Alternatively, the manufacturer of the truck may have supplied a faulty part, leading to a dangerous situation. It is not fair that you should bear the brunt of a penalty if others are the culprits. Rely on our knowledgeable Cumberland County and Harrisburg commercial truck driver attorneys to fight for your rights.

Protecting You from Severe Traffic Penalties

If you have been charged and convicted for at least 2 traffic-related offenses within a period of 3 years, your license for driving a commercial truck or vehicle can be suspended. The length of time for your suspension depends greatly on the number of violations or the severity of the violations. In addition to a license suspension, however, you can also face steep insurance costs, even if the situation was not your fault. This is why it is so important to begin building your case as soon as possible.

Avoiding the Harmful Consequences of Commercial Truck Charges

Incidents involving trucks and other commercial vehicles can be dangerous, and it is understandable that the law would want to protect drivers from harm. The problem is that in many cases, a truck driver is not the primary one at fault in these kinds of situations, yet commercial drivers are often forced to take the full blame. Losing your commercial driver license would not just be inconvenient but could strip you of your ability to financially provide for yourself and your family.
