Attorney Jason Studinski Presents an Update on Trucking Litigation

Attorney Jason Studinski is pleased to announce that he presented at the State Bar of Wisconsin Car Crash Symposium, Winter 2019. With 20 years of experience in the legal industry, Attorney Studinski focuses on helping Wisconsin families recover compensation after personal injury accidents. He is a fierce advocate for accident victims, and his aggressive approach ensures his clients receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries. Attorney Studinski and his team have particular knowledge and expertise in the area of truck wrecks.

Knowing that commercial vehicle litigation can be far more complicated and nuanced than standard vehicle accident claims, Attorney Studinski prepared a trucking litigation update for this year’s winter symposium. His goal is to share his knowledge on emerging topics in trucking litigation to ensure that Wisconsin consumers are protected when they are injured by commercial trucks.

Jason Studinski’s “Truck Litigation: an Update”

Attorney Studinski covered a lot of ground in his presentation, from basics (including explaining the surprisingly broad definition of “commercial motor vehicles), to more advanced topics (such as the future of driverless trucks). By walking attorneys through these emerging topics, he hopes to better prepare lawyers to hold trucking companies responsible for their actions and the harm they cause through negligent conduct.

In his presentation, attorney Studinski covered:

• The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s definition of a commercial motor vehicle, and when it applies.
• Conspicuity regulations, and how they may impact a case.
• Advancement in safety features and negligent failure to equip.
• In-cab driver performance technology, forward collision warning systems, and lane departure warning systems.
• Necessary and proper maintenance of commercial vehicles and negligent maintenance of tires.
• How to identify all relevant parties in a trucking accident case.
• Tips on conducting a thorough truck accident investigation.
• Addressing spoliation in truck accident cases, including drafting a spoliation letter.
• Understanding electronic log requirements and their effective dates.
• Understanding hours of service requirements and recordkeeping.
• Investigating sleep apnea and fatigue in relation to a trucking accident.
• The benefits and possible issues of driverless trucks.
• Current debate regarding carrier’s mandatory minimum insurance requirements.
• Truck driver qualifications and new rules, which will be effective in February 2020.
• Carriers’ hiring and retention practices.

By the end of the presentation, attorneys had increased awareness of the practical implications of technological advancements, several important developments within the trucking industry, and how to pursue trucking accident litigation against motor carriers on behalf of their clients.
