Florida Trucking Company Liability Attorneys
If you have been injured in a large truck accident, it is critical that you retain a personal injury attorney who understands the role that a trucking company may play in an accident. While a truck driver may have been the immediate cause of your accident, negligence on the part of a trucking company may also have played a significant role in your accident.
Examples of truck company negligence include:
- Negligent hiring and training: Truck companies have a duty to investigate the driving record of truckers they hire and to ensure that their truckers have proper training. Some truck companies take shortcuts to cut costs.
- Negligent maintenance: Trucking companies have a duty to keep their vehicles in good working order, including working breaks, lights, tires and safety devices.
- Failure to prevent driver fatigue: Trucking companies have dispatchers who should keep track of how many miles a trucker has logged. They should be mindful about the danger presented by truck driver fatigue and take appropriate precautions when a trucker may be at risk of fatigue.
- Negligent loading: Overloaded trucks are more difficult to stop and may be more prone to a rollover accident if the weight is not properly distributed. Truck loads must be properly secured to prevent accidents caused by falling objects and debris.
