Commercial Trucking Liability
Commercial Trucking Companies
After a truck wreck, it is necessary to identify responsible parties so those injured are able to recover full compensation for their losses. At Gary Martin Hays & Associates, one of the first parties our attorneys investigate in every trucking accident is the commercial trucking company.
Was the Truck in Compliance With Regulations?
Federal and Georgia regulations require commercial haulers to take special precautions to protect the safety of highway travelers. When they fail to do so, victims of resulting truck wrecks deserve compensation for that corporate negligence. Trucking company liability presents complex issues, including the following:
- Commercial truck driver negligence resulting from poor practices in hiring, training and supervision
- Driver fatigue resulting from extended driving hours concealed by illegal logbooks
- Overweight trucks and load issues
- Trucking equipment maintenance
- Alcohol-related truck accidents
Will Your Attorney Be Up to the Challenge?
A claim against a commercial trucking company will be vigorously defended — the insurance company may begin its investigation before the ambulances leave the scene of the accident. It is their goal to protect the trucking company and pay out as little as possible in damages. Will your attorney be ready to challenge that corporate front?
