Wallingford Truck Company Error Lawyer

Wallingford Truck Company Error Attorney

While truck driver negligence like speeding and distracted driving are often the cause of truck accidents, truck company errors are often contributing factors to truck accidents as well. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, it is critical that you retain a Wallingford truck company error lawyer who understands how a trucking company’s error may contribute to the cause of an accident.

Examples of truck company errors include:

• Negligent hiring of truckers: Truck companies have a responsibility to hire safe drivers. They should determine if their truckers have a valid commercial driver’s license, have a good driving record and have sufficient safety training to ensure safe driving.
• Failure to prevent driver fatigue: Truckers often log significant miles because they are paid by the mile. As a result, they often drive to the point of exhaustion and become fatigued. When truckers are not alert, they pose a danger to other motorists. Federal trucking laws require semi-truck operators to take adequate rest breaks to prevent driver fatigue. Truck companies have dispatchers who should know when a truck driver has logged too many miles and may be fatigued.
• Negligent maintenance: Trucks should be properly maintained to ensure safety. Tires, lights, brakes and other safety devices should be routinely checked and maintained when necessary to prevent unnecessary risk of harm to other motorists.
• Negligent loading: Federal trucking laws have weight restrictions for semi-trucks and other large tractor-trailers. When trucks are overloaded or when truck loads are not properly secured, accidents may occur. Trucks that are carrying heavy loads in violation of weight restrictions are more difficult to stop and are more likely to cause a rollover accident.
