Accident Reporting: Change to Regulatory Guidance Concerning the Use of the Term “Medical Treatment”
Notice of revised regulatory guidance.
FMCSA announces a revision to its regulatory guidance concerning the use of the term ``medical treatment'' for the purpose of accident reporting. The revised guidance explains that an x-ray examination is a diagnostic procedure and should no longer be considered ``medical treatment'' in determining whether a crash should be included on a motor carrier's accident register.
