How a Lawyer Can Help Contest Trucking Transportation Violations
These cases often involve complex state and federal regulations, and understanding them thoroughly is critical for mounting a strong defense.
We can start by gathering and analyzing evidence. This might include reviewing logbook records, maintenance reports, or surveillance footage to find inconsistencies that cast doubt on the violation claims. If you've been accused of a logbook violation, we might see if there are technical errors or procedural mistakes, such as improper logging software setups, that weaken the case against you.
Our office frequently works with enforcement authorities to negotiate reduced penalties or dismissals. For instance, if you've been cited for equipment violations, we might be able to demonstrate through maintenance records that the issue was promptly addressed.
