If you and your attorney can show the truck driver or trucking company were "negligent" in causing your crash, you will be entitled to compensation.  Also, keep in mind that truck drivers and trucking companies are required to follow special safety rules in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.  These trucking safety rules address trucker qualifications, pre-trip inspections, company supervision of truck drivers, driver's logs, post-accident reporting, as well as post-accident drug and alcohol testing.  If you can show the trucker or motor carrier violated one or more of these trucking regulations, it will help your claim.
