Attorney Lawrence Land Provides the Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much insurance do federal & state laws require trucks to carry, and how does insurance affect my Virginia truck accident case?

A: Under federal law, commercial vehicles (such as large trucks) must carry a minimum of $750,000 of bodily injury insurance, meaning that if you were injured in a VA area accident (such as a Norfolk truck accident) caused by truck driver negligence, you would be able to receive up to $750,00 in financial compensation.  This does not mean that you would receive the maximum amount; however, if your medical bills and injuries were determined to be high or serious enough to require maximum compensation, you may be awarded the full amount.  Federal law requirements apply to trucks traveling from state-to-state, which is the case for many large commercial trucks.  For more information on state law regarding trucks and insurance coverage, contact Virginia trucking accident attorney Lawrence Land.
