// EDITORIAL STANDARDS
How we research,
verify, correct.
Primary-source citation. Attorney review. Annual statute monitoring. A strict no-legal-advice policy. Our public commitments.
- 01
Primary-source citation
Every legal figure (statute of limitations, damage cap, fault system) cites a primary source: a state code, court rule, or FMCSA regulation. We do not cite other websites for legal facts.
- 02
Attorney review
Articles describing legal rights, deadlines, or procedures are reviewed by an attorney licensed in a U.S. jurisdiction before publication. State-specific pages are reviewed by counsel familiar with that state's practice when possible.
- 03
Annual review and statute monitoring
All state pages are reviewed at least once per year. We monitor state legislatures and the FMCSA for changes that affect statutes of limitations, damage caps, notice requirements, and trucking-specific rules.
- 04
Clear separation of editorial and advertising
Our editorial content is written without input from advertisers. We do not accept payment to feature specific law firms or alter conclusions in articles. Lead-generation forms are clearly marked.
- 05
No legal advice
This site provides general information about U.S. truck accident law. It is not legal advice. Reading this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. For advice on a specific situation, contact a licensed attorney in your state.
- 06
Corrections policy
If you find an error, contact us. We correct factual errors promptly and add a dated note to the page when a correction materially changes the content.
- 07
Source diversity
Where reasonable people disagree (e.g., interpretive questions about a statute), we describe the disagreement and link to the underlying authorities rather than presenting one view as settled.
