How to Prove Truck Driver Negligence

Truck accidents often happen because of negligence on the part of the truck driver. Part of our role as your chosen truck accident attorneys at Alvandi Law Group, P.C. will be to find ways to prove that negligence. We are known for our ability to uncover evidence in its various forms and then use it to hold truck drivers accountable for their dangerous mistakes.

Examples of truck driver negligence that cause a crash include:

• Driving while fatigued, often due to violating hours of service (HOS) regulations.
• Operating under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Speeding or engaging in aggressive driving behaviors.
• Using devices such as phones and GPS while driving, resulting in distracted driving.
• Failing to perform mandatory pre-trip inspections.

Types of Trucking Company Negligence

You may also have grounds to hold the trucking company responsible for negligence using the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, which means that companies can be held liable for the actions of their employees. Furthermore, trucking companies can also be directly responsible for unsafe practices and policies that contribute to truck accidents.

Examples of trucking company negligence that can contribute to truck accident risks include:

• Hiring drivers without proper qualifications or safety records.
• Providing inadequate training programs for employees.
• Neglecting routine maintenance or necessary repairs on their fleet.
• Pressuring drivers with unrealistic delivery deadlines that encourage unsafe practices.
• Violating federal trucking regulations designed to improve safety.

• Property damage: Funds to repair or replace your vehicle or other damaged property.

Should You See a Doctor If You Feel Fine After a Truck Accident?

It can be tempting to skip seeking medical care after a truck accident if your injuries don’t seem serious at first. However, certain injuries, such as brain injuries or organ damage, may not present symptoms immediately but can lead to severe complications if left untreated. Visiting a doctor as soon as possible allows a medical expert to diagnose your health and prescribe treatments if any injuries are discovered.

Also, if you go to the doctor after a truck accident, your medical record will be updated to show that you sought a diagnosis and treatment. This note may prove instrumental to your injury claim’s validity. For example, if you never saw a doctor, the defendant would have more room to argue that you must have not suffered a serious injury.
