Trucking and Delivery Company Accidents
Holding Companies Accountable for Negligence on the Road
Collisions involving large trucks, delivery vehicles, and courier services often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of these vehicles. Beyond the driver, trucking and delivery companies often bear responsibility for the safety of their vehicles, drivers, and operations. At Alpha Law Firm, we specialize in uncovering the root causes of these accidents and holding all responsible parties accountable.
What Makes Trucking and Delivery Accidents Different?
Unlike standard car accidents, trucking and delivery company accidents involve complex factors such as:
- Commercial Regulations: Companies and drivers must comply with state and federal laws, including hours-of-service rules and vehicle maintenance requirements.
- Corporate Responsibility: Companies may be liable for negligent hiring, improper training, or pushing drivers to meet unreasonable delivery schedules.
- Vehicle Maintenance and Defects: Poorly maintained trucks or defective equipment can lead to catastrophic accidents.
At Alpha Law Firm, we know how to navigate the additional complexities these cases present and are committed to identifying every liable party.
Common Causes of Trucking and Delivery Accidents
These accidents often result from a combination of driver error and systemic negligence by the company. Some common causes include:
- Driver Fatigue: Companies pushing drivers beyond legal hours-of-service limits.
- Improper Training: Drivers not adequately prepared to operate large or specialized vehicles.
- Unsecured Cargo: Shifting or falling loads due to improper loading practices.
- Mechanical Failures: Brakes, tires, or other essential systems failing due to neglect.
- Distracted or Impaired Driving: Drivers operating vehicles under unsafe conditions.
Determining Liability
In trucking and delivery company accidents, liability often extends beyond the driver. Potentially responsible parties may include:
- The trucking or delivery company for negligent hiring, training, or supervision.
- The vehicle maintenance provider if improper servicing contributed to the accident.
- The manufacturer of faulty parts or equipment.
- Third-party contractors involved in the vehicle’s operation or maintenance.
At Alpha Law Firm, we conduct thorough investigations to identify all responsible parties and maximize your compensation.
