Forms of Trucking Company Negligence

Being involved in a truck accident with an 18-wheeler vehicle is terrifying, and many people wonder if they should pursue legal action against the driver. Although it is possible that you should, as many truck accidents are the result of a truck driver's actions, it is also possible that the trucking company was actually the entity at fault. Trucking company negligence can be responsible for numerous accidents, and the attorneys at the Law Offices of Paul Levin want to help Connecticut car accident victims know exactly what to do if they are victimized by a trucking company's negligence.

4 Forms of Trucking Company Negligence

Trucking companies have important responsibilities when it comes to ensuring that their own drivers are safe. When they fail in these duties, not only do they put the driver at risk, but they also put the lives and well-being of other drivers at risk. Negligence at the company level can take a number of forms, including:

  • Negligent Hiring
  • Failure to Maintain Vehicles
  • Failure to Train Employees
  • Hours of Service Violations

Each of these actions could be considered trucking company negligence, something for which the company could be held accountable should an accident occur as a result.
