Kansas City Truck Accident Lawyers Listen to the Trucking Industry Safety Recommendations
Government officials, traffic safety organizations and truck accident lawyers often have lots of suggestions for preventing Kansas City tractor trailer wrecks. They are not alone. Recently, the American Trucking Associations (ATA), a group that represents the trucking industry, testified before a United States Senate subcommittee and provided its opinion about what could make trucking safer.What the ATA Suggests for Truck Safety
In July 2011 testimony to the Senate subcommittee, the ATA suggested:
- Higher standards for companies seeking to enter the trucking industry
- Changes to the CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) Program of the U.S. Department of Transportation
- A national system to directly notify employers of drivers’ moving violations quickly
- Government authorization of and funding for a drug and alcohol test result clearinghouse
- Focusing on the actions of automobile drivers in car/truck crashes
It is important to listen to the ideas of all interested parties in an effort to reduce Kansas City truck wrecks. The ATA, representing trucking companies and truckers, has every incentive to try to reduce truck crashes. Truck accidents cost trucking companies a lot of money and can endanger the lives of truckers. Accordingly, it is in the best interest of trucking companies to try to reduce the number of crashes.
Additionally, ideas proposed by the ATA may have a better chance of being implemented because trucking companies are more receptive of the recommendations.
When to Contact a Kansas City Truck Accident Lawyer
However, even if all of the ATA recommendations were implemented, Kansas City tractor trailer accidents will inevitably happen, and people will continue to be injured. If you are hurt, or if you lose a loved one in a truck wreck, then it is important to contact an experienced Kansas City truck accident attorney as soon as possible to find out how to protect your rights and your potential recovery.
