When Trucking Companies are at Fault

Trucking companies are regulated at the state and federal levels to ensure vehicles and drivers are safe on shared roadways. A trucking company may be held liable for an accident if it fails to comply with regulations, as in the case of putting an improperly maintained semi on the road.

However, a trucking company may share vicarious liability for actions of their drivers, too. Vicarious liability may apply if:

• The company did not provide training after knowingly hiring a driver who was untrained, under-trained and/or did not have the proper credentials to operate a semi
• The driver falsified logs to stay on the road longer than legally allowable and the company had previously been made aware of the issue or should have discovered it during a routine audit

Trucking companies will work hard to disprove vicarious liability. You will need TUF legal help to fight for the compensation you deserve.
