NYC Truck Company Negligence Lawyer
There are various ways in which a trucking company can exercise negligence. When such a company puts risky drivers on the roads in the process, other drivers on the road are less safe. An investigation into the root causes of a truck accident sometimes uncovers likely triggers such as:
- The truck company’s failure to properly screen drivers
- The company’s failure to train drivers adequately
- The company’s failure to enforce safety regulations — for example, allowing driving hour log violations to continue without discipline and correction
- The company’s failure to inspect the truck or ensure the driver inspects it
