State and federal regulations: State and federal laws regulate the weight loads, speeds, and driving conditions in which a truck can operate. A violation of these laws may lead to a very serious accident. Many truck accidents are caused when trucking companies fail to follow important procedures and protocols that protect the lives of drivers as well as other passengers on the road. If you or someone you love was involved in a truck wreck or serious trucking and automobile collision, our attorneys will aggressively pursue maximum compensation for you and your family.
Hiring and supervision: Trucking companies have a duty to ensure that the employees they hire to drive have an adequate driving record, no history of substance abuse, and that they have the proper training to operate a semi-truck. If you or someone you love was injured in a trucking accident, we will investigate to assess whether the trucking company was negligent in hiring or firing. Poor supervision of employees can lead to devastating consequences. We will assert your right to recover from any trucking company negligence.
Maintenance: Trucking companies have a duty to maintain the trucks and to ensure that drivers are properly following procedures to make sure that equipment is safe. Where a company fails to maintain equipment causing tire blowouts, transmission failures, or brake failures, catastrophic accidents may occur on the highway. If you or your family has suffered in a catastrophic trucking accident, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Contact us today for a free consultation on your case. You do not pay unless we recover.
