Santa Rosa Truck Accident Attorneys
In the competitive trucking industry, many trucking companies constantly push their drivers to deliver more, faster. They fail to take necessary and federally mandated safety measures because they are too expensive. Most cases of trucking company negligence involve cutting costs and chasing profit. Examples include:
- Requiring drivers to work longer hours than they are able to or allowed by law
- Failing to maintain trucks
- Failing to perform background checks to weed out dangerous drivers
- Retaining drivers after they have violated rules
- Failing to provide adequate driver training
Truck companies are bound by federal and state guidelines that govern hiring and retention policies, driver conduct and other issues. They are also required to keep thorough paperwork on all aspects of their operations. Often, they not only break the rules, but fail to keep paperwork on the subject.
Regardless, an experienced truck accident lawyer knows how to find the facts. Our attorneys will work to find out how your truck accident occurred and to identify liable parties. We will use our skill and experience to hold the trucking company and any other negligent party accountable.
