Truck Accident Cases, Session One: Braking Systems, Regulations & More - On Demand CLE

Truck accident cases involving large commercial trucks often involve serious injuries and complex litigation issues that are distinct from traditional car crash cases. In this program, experienced trial lawyers Peter M. Anderson and Carlo Bonavita teach you how to successfully navigate and win truck accident cases. Starting with an in-depth look into commercial motor vehicle (CMV) brake systems, this session will examine all aspects of CMV brakes, including what trucking academies teach, brake tests needed to obtain a commercial driver license (CDL), and daily brake system inspection requirements. Attendees will also learn about the intricacies of the heart of the system, from the compressor to glad hands to brake chambers. This trucking CLE program will review brake-related Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and connect the requirements to State CDL manuals. Anderson and Bonavita will cover shippers and brokers’ duties to hire safe motor carriers and how to assess brake issues
