Michael gave attendees an overall look at the standards of care and how to access information needed to properly handle truck crash cases and maximize results. This included discussion of the United States Code, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, the Commercial Drivers’ License manual, industry safety materials, and more.

This includes economic damages (measurable financial loss like medical expenses) and non-economic damages (categories like pain and suffering or loss of love.) no longer are awarded; they are something to recover.
