NM Truck Accident Attorneys: Explaining Your Truck Accident Rights in Española, NM
According to the Motor Vehicle Department in New Mexico driving a commercial motor vehicle, including a semi-truck or tractor-trailer, requires a higher level of experience, skills, knowledge, and physical abilities than driving a non-commercial vehicle. It also requires the application, testing and qualifying success of understanding the material necessary to obtain a commercial driver’s license, or CDL.
When CDL vehicle operators take to the road, they are required to provide a higher level of care, as their vehicle is larger, heavier, and more dangerous than other vehicles. When they do not operate with the proper care, negligence is a factor in pursuing financial recovery. With more than 35 years of representing only truck accident injury victims in New Mexico, the NM Truck Accident Attorneys deliver exceptional skill in handling these cases and providing successful outcomes for our clients.
