Finding Insurance Limits for Commercial Vehicles on the Web
49 C.F.R. 387 requires commercial motor carriers to maintain minimum insurance policy limits on their commercial vehicles. The minimum amount varies depending on the vehicle's use. In any event, the commercial motor carrier is required to report their insurance policy limits to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The FMCSA, in turn, publishes the information for free on a public website.
I was hit head on by a commercial vehicle from another state, and they're saying they only have limited coverage and do not have to carry coverage requirements from my home state because their company is not in my state.Is this true, because their coverage won't even pay my medical bills, much less cover my car which was totalled, or anything else.
I cannot imagine that any state would have such a law. I suppose anything is possible, but this seems like a real stretch to me.
You need to talk with a lawyer in your area. Look for a lawyer who is certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy - see www.nbtanet.org. Most lawyers will give you a free consultation.
I totally agree with what you're saying. I wish more people felt this way and took the time to express themselves. Keep up the great work.
