- A trucker causes an accident while driving under the influence of alcohol – and the truck company never looked at the driver’s history of drunk driving before hiring him/her.
- A trucker falls asleep behind the wheel while driving – but the trucking company told him to drive more hours than he legally could.
- A trucker loses control of his vehicle and causes a wreck – but the trucking company didn’t correctly pack the trailer, causing items to shift and throw the truck off balance.
- A trucker is driving distracted and causes an accident – but evidence reveals he was sending messages to his trucking company while driving at the time of the crash.
The bottom line is that you should never ever assume that you know who is liable for your damages in a semi crash – or put sole blame on the driver – before you look at all of the evidence and speak to an attorney about your case.
