At Jacobs & Jacobs, we represent people who have been injured in truck accidents and families who have lost loved ones in fatal truck accidents. We are experienced attorneys who give all of our clients the close, personal attention they deserve.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) set forth strict guidelines for the lighting and reflectors on large trucks engaged in interstate traffic.
FMCSR truck lighting requirements include:
- White, symmetrically placed headlights
- Parking lamps
- Yellow front turn signals
- Red or yellow back turn signals
- Front identification lamps (for large loads)
- Red brake lights
- Yellow reflectors marking the front and center of the vehicle
- Red rear reflectors
If a truck does not adhere to these guidelines, it presents a hazard to other people on the road and constitutes negligence on the part of the truck driver or company. Our attorneys are well-versed in the federal regulations governing truck accident cases and are prepared to help you obtain fair compensation for the losses you have suffered.
If you or someone close to you has been injured in an accident caused by a poorly-lit truck, we are here to help. Please contact us today online or by telephone at 866-668-7179 to speak with an experienced attorney.
