The Trucking Company May Be Liable

In many truck accident cases, the responsibility for the crash extends beyond the truck driver to include the trucking company itself. This is often due to the complex legal concept known as “vicarious liability,” where employers can be held responsible for the actions of their employees.

Additionally, trucking companies might be directly liable for their own negligence, including failures in hiring practices, inadequate driver training, or improper vehicle maintenance. If a trucking company cuts corners or fails to enforce these regulations, and this negligence leads to an accident, the company can be liable.

This can significantly impact the compensation victims receive, as trucking companies typically have larger insurance policies than individual drivers. Holding trucking companies accountable contributes to a fair settlement for victims and can create better safety standards.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Understanding the Impact of Federal Trucking Regulations on Your Case

Federal trucking regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) play a crucial role in truck accident claims. These regulations are designed to ensure safe roads by governing the operation and maintenance of commercial vehicles and setting standards for truck drivers.

Laborde Earles meticulously reviews all relevant FMCSA regulations, such as hours of service for drivers, mandatory rest periods, weight limits, and truck maintenance requirements. If we find they broke the rules, they could be held negligent.

Our team has extensive experience leveraging these regulations to build a robust argument for your claim. Proving violations of federal trucking regulations can lead to more favorable outcomes in your case.
