GLOSSARY

Legal Terms Explained

Plain-English definitions of common legal terms you may encounter in a truck accident claim.

LIABILITY

Legal responsibility for causing harm or damages. In truck accidents, liability may fall on the driver, trucking company, cargo loader, or vehicle manufacturer.

NEGLIGENCE

Failure to act with reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person. Examples include distracted driving, speeding, or violating safety regulations.

FMCSA

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration — the federal agency that sets safety rules for commercial trucks and drivers operating across state lines.

HOS VIOLATIONS

Hours of Service violations occur when a truck driver exceeds federally mandated driving time limits, often leading to fatigue-related accidents.

COMPARATIVE FAULT

A legal rule that can reduce your compensation if you are found partially responsible for the accident. Many states allow recovery even if you share some fault.

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

The deadline to file a lawsuit. For truck accident claims, this is typically 2 years from the accident date, though it varies by state.

VICARIOUS LIABILITY

A trucking company can be held responsible for the negligent actions of its drivers while they are performing work duties.

BLACK BOX (EDR)

An Electronic Data Recorder in commercial trucks that logs speed, braking, and other data. This evidence is critical in proving fault and must be preserved quickly.
