San Diego Trucking Company Negligence Lawyers
In order for commercial trucks or 18-wheelers to run efficiently and safely, they need to be properly maintained and cared for. Commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, and can cause serious damage if involved in an accident. Along with drivers acting responsibly, trucking companies also have to make sure that they do not employ drivers or lax maintenance policies which create a needlessly increased risk of accidents.
Regrettably, there are many instances in which a trucking company’s efforts to save money or simple lack of oversight result in injury to other motorists.
