Responsibility to American Safety
All truck companies have a responsibility to protect the safety of pedestrians and other drivers on the road. These companies are responsible for ensuring that their drivers are adequately trained to operate the large trucks in a safe manner and to avoid trucking crashes at all times. If at any time truck drivers are reckless or negligent, the company can be held liable. Reckless and/or negligent driving may include:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol – Truck companies are responsibly for implementing a drug-free workforce and should conduct periodic drug tests
- Driver fatigue – Truck companies are responsible for making sure their truck drivers do not exceed more than a specific amount of hours on the road at a time without resting
- Inadequate training – all companies are responsible for providing their drivers with proper training
Truck companies, large and small, have a responsibility to American safety. If you or a loved one has been harmed or killed in a truck accident, you will most likely qualify to seek and recover compensation for your losses.
