Litigating a truck accident case for the victims is almost always complicated because there can be a number of different factors to consider.

Trucking Company Negligence

  • Negligent hiring practices
  • Hours of service violations
  • Failure to maintain vehicles properly
  • Failure to train employees

A trucking company may be held legally liable for any accidents, injuries, and costs that result from engaging in any of these acts. Determining this fault can be very difficult so what should you do?
