- Most understand that by now you can not handle an interstate, or intrastate, trucking case like an auto accident case. Different rules and laws apply. Likewise, you can not treat a hazardous material commercial transport vehicle the same as you treat regular cargo commercial transport vehicles in commercial trucking cases. Transportation of hazardous materials cause unique safety concerns as the release of hazardous cargo may contaminate or injure those coming into contact with the substance, or result in fire, explosions, and the release of toxic fumes. Safety needs to be of utmost importance when transporting hazardous material., Co-Author, Hazardous Material Trucking v Traditional Cargo Trucking - Case Differences, The Trial Lawyers, Legal, 2020

- According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there were over 415,000 Commercial Motor Vehicles involved in traffic crashes last year. The crashes resulted in 3,598 deaths and 83,000 seriously injured individuals. Commercial Motor Vehicles are not exclusively traditional semi-trucks or big-rig trucks, a pick up truck can be held to the same standard under certain circumstances. The leading causes of truck accidents are by driver negligence, negligent maintenance of the truck, and violations of the Federal and State Regulations. There are many factors that can lead to negligence including aggressive driving, pressure to make deadlines, drug or alcohol abuse, inexperience, criminal behavior, speeding, texting while driving, driving for hours on end (fatigue), unsafe lane movements, driver drowsiness, and other distractions. For trucks that spend hours on the road and thousands of mile per week, common problems with the truck that result in serious accidents include brake failure, worn tires, worn-out locks, old loading straps, defective truck equipment, improper reflectors, inadequate vehicle maintenance, and so on., Co-Author, IS IT A POTATO OR TOMATO?

- A study conducted in 2017 by the Department of Transportation found that there are, on average, 486 school bus accidents every year in the State of Florida. On average, nationally, there are over 32,000 bus accidents of all types (school bus, tour bus, and so on) and at least over 300 facilities each year for the past 5 years. Buses are recognized as common carriers. A common carrier is any sort of vehicle which holds itself out to the general public as being willing to transport anyone who pays the necessary fare (for example, city, metros, or trolley buses). Common carriers differ from private carriers due to the fact that private carriers transport select groups of people, and do not hold themselves out to the general public (such as: greyhound, charter, tour buses, etc.). Private carriers on the road have the duty to act as a reasonable person would do to make sure that passengers arrive at their destination uninjured. Common carriers, however, are required to demonstrate an even higher level of care, requiring the bus driver to go far above and beyond what a reasonable person would do under the same circumstances. Under §390.3 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA), for-hire passenger transportation across state-lines, even occasionally, and acceptance of any type of payment for transportation is considered “for-hire” and must comply with the rules of interstate commerce (FMCSR). The financial responsibility for “for-hire” interstate Passenger-Carrier Transportation is determined by the seating capacity of your vehicles. Vehicles with a seating capacity of 15 or fewer passengers require $1.5 million of coverage, while vehicles with a seating capacity of 16 or more passengers require $5 million of coverage. , Co-Author, The A to Z of Bus Accidents, The Trial Lawyers, Legal, 2018
