In other cases, the trucking company or driver’s employer may be found negligent if he or she pushed the driver to meet unreasonable deadlines, failed to provide proper training or failed to provide periodic drug testing. The employer can also be found negligent if the truck and its parts are not properly maintained and fail to work correctly.
A manufacturing company may also be found negligent if the accident is caused by a defective part such as a tire blowout or faulty brakes. Because there are so many factors involved, it is important to work with an attorney who understands the laws governing truck accidents and negligence.
