Trucking Company Employer Negligence
Although commercial trucks are an important part of the economy and day-to-day operations for many businesses across the country, they can also be very dangerous. There are an estimated 500,000 accidents every year involving big rigs. Commercial trucks are especially dangerous in the event of an accident because of their size and weight. And while drivers are responsible for a number of these accidents, many are caused by negligent trucking company owners.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a truck accident due to an employer’s reckless actions, you should consider taking legal action as soon as possible. Trucking companies have a number of responsibilities and if they do not live up to these, you may be able to hold them liable.

Trucking Company Negligence
If a truck company fails to live up to its responsibilities, innocent lives could be in jeopardy. You may be able to take legal action against these reckless companies if they commit any of the following actions:
- Do not properly inspect and maintain vehicles
- Hire unqualified or unsafe drivers
- Failing to properly train new drivers before sending them out on the road
- Not checking driver logs and enforcing the Hours of Service laws
When trucking companies commit these negligent acts, they may be held accountable for the financial losses and injuries victims of a truck accident sustain.
