Truck drivers are required to follow regulations and laws when operating their vehicles. When these laws are broken, such as in the case of driver fatigue or distracted driving, it can be classified as negligence – which means that the truck driver is responsible for any losses or damages caused by the accident. Not only is the truck driver responsible, but so is the company that hired the truck driver, and the company that performed maintenance on the truck itself.

Your attorney will use this evidence to prove negligence in court, which is essential for obtaining the compensation you need after being involved in a truck accident.

Trucking companies may be held liable for any losses or damages that occurred as a result of your accident.
