One of the most common causes of large truck and tractor-trailer accidents is driver negligence. A truck driver behaves negligently when they act unreasonably under the circumstances. This can include violating a state traffic law or federal motor carrier regulation, engaging in distracted or intoxicated driving, or exhibiting aggressive driving behaviors such as tailgating or road rage.
If you’ve been in a truck accident and think the driver’s negligence might have caused it, our legal team can help you understand your options.
In addition to negligent truck drivers, the trucking companies that employ these drivers may also act negligently. Trucking companies can be held liable for the negligent actions of their drivers if the drivers were on the job at the time of the accident.
Trucking companies are also responsible for properly supervising their drivers and ensuring that they fulfill all continuing education requirements. They have to hire and retain only experienced and safe drivers. They are usually expected to make sure their drivers are following the rules. If they don’t, and an accident happens, they might be held responsible.
Accidents with big trucks can sometimes cause serious injuries. Some common injuries that might happen include:
If you’re injured in a truck accident, you might be able to claim compensation for all these types of injuries. This could also include payments for medical bills, lost wages, and possibly pain and suffering.
