TRUCKING/MOTOR CARRIER ACCIDENTS Federally regulated motor carriers (interstate trucking companies) are required to comply with various federal safety regulations as a condition of being allowed to operate on the highways. Arizona has adopted generally the same safety regulations, so that even “intrastate” or Arizona-only trucking companies must comply with stringent safety regulations as to how they transport and deliver freight on Arizona ’s highways and roads. Violations of these safety regulations can result in negligence per se, which may give rise to punitive damages in addition to actual damages. Jensen Law Firm has significant experience with motor carrier/trucking cases, including a $315,000.00 jury award, plus multiple appeals to the Arizona Court of Appeals, Division 1, and one oral argument to the Arizona Supreme Court. |
