Trucking Company Negligence is a Threat To Personal Safety Indicates California Personal Injury Attorney Steven Peck

Written by Adam Peck Category: Injury Law January 16th, 2013 1 min read

Trucking company negligence is a threat to truck drivers as well as anyone else on the road. If a trucking company fails in even one regard to follow through with their obligations to employees and the general public, they may be facing legal action.

Types of Trucking Negligence

A trucking company can fail to follow protocol in many ways, including:

* Hours of service violations- working drivers too hard, compromising their ability to drive safely.
* Negligent hiring- employing people with criminal records or those who do not meet the standards of a trucking company.
* Failure to train- large trucks and 18 wheelers require special training to operate because of their extreme size and weight difference from other cars. If drivers are not trained, they can cause serious accidents.
* Failure to maintain vehicles- failure to perform regular inspections and required maintenance on vehicles.
