What Are Common Types of Trucking Company Negligence?

Negligence is the failure to act with reasonable care. When a trucking company is negligent, the results can be deadly for innocent victims.

Examples of trucking company negligence that can lead to semi-truck accidents include:

Failure to maintain the tractor-trailers in good working order
Failing to conduct routine truck inspections
Ignoring safety regulations by forcing truck drivers to work more than the allowed number of hours by federal law (FMCSA hours of service)
Negligent hiring policies that permit hires of inexperienced and problematic drivers
Failing to provide specialized training and improper training practices
Training drivers to ignore safety rules
Negligent loading practices, including overloading, failing to secure cargo and improperly loaded cargo
Failing to perform random alcohol and drug tests
Failing to make necessary truck repairs and perform necessary maintenance

Trucking company negligence causes truck crashes. When a trucking company negligently operates 18-wheelers, it can be held liable for damages caused by a truck accident.

What Damages Can You Receive in a Trucking Company Negligence Claim?

Trucking company negligence, including the actions of negligent truck drivers, causes many types of truck accidents. When a truck accident occurs because of the wrongdoing of the trucking company, the accident victim can sue the trucking company for damages.

Past and future medical expenses
Long-term nursing care
Personal care and household services
Past and future lost wages
Out-of-pocket expenses
Physical, occupational, and vocational therapies
