Truck Accidents
Truck Accidents
Commercial vehicles such as truck drivers are seen throughout the streets everyday. These drivers are typically on the road for long and lengthy routes which in turn can result in negligent driving leading to multiple accidents. Other commercial vehicles may include passenger vans; delivery vehicle and mail trucks; moving trucks; and construction vehicles to name a few. Commercial truck drivers must satisfy a stricter standard of care compared to others drivers with a standard license.
truck drivers' standard of care includes the following:
- Qualifications for Truck Drivers
- Maintaining Truck Driver Logs
- Inspection Requirements
- Weight and Size Restrictions
- Hours of Service Regulations
In addition, other than negligence, a driver’s employer could be held liable under the theory of vicarious liability by showing the driver was working within the course and scope of their employment at the time of the accident.
