In many situations, a truck driver’s negligent actions are the sole cause of an accident. However, even in these cases, the driver is not the only individual that can be held accountable for injuries resulting from a truck accident. This is because trucking companies have a legal responsibility to ensure that their drivers are thoroughly vetted during the hiring process, are appropriately trained, and are held accountable for any company violations. This is good news for anyone injured in an accident with a large commercial truck because trucking companies often have more funds at their disposal and so are in a better position to fully compensate injured parties for their losses.
