Trucking Company Negligence & Employee Responsibility

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

One of the biggest dangers for trucking companies is the negligence of personnel. The irresponsibility of drivers and maintenance professionals can result in a devastating accident. Therefore, it is the responsibility of trucking companies to: 

  • Hire qualified drivers;
  • Provide specialized industry training;
  • Ensure that maintenance workers properly maintain the vehicles and safely secure the loads;
  • Submit personnel to random drug and alcohol testing; and
  • Effectively discipline personnel for any traffic or criminal violations. 

Trucking companies must also make sure that their drivers’ licenses have not expired, been suspended, revoked or cancelled. And they may not schedule deliveries that subject drivers to speeding or overtime.The failure to maintain these safety standards can cause serious injuries or fatalities, which is why trucking companies may be held liable for damages that are caused in a truck accident.If You Have Been Injured Because of Trucking Company NegligenceIf you have been injured in an Illinois trucking accident and you believe trucking company negligence is to blame, you may be eligible for compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.
