Types of Employer Negligence
Employer negligence is a broad term meant to encompass the various negligent actions that an employer may commit.
In the realm of commercial trucking, this negligence may include:
- Hours of Service Violations
- Negligent Hiring
- Failure to Train/Inadequate Training
- Failure to Inspect
Aside from being potentially hazardous to the truck driver, these forms of negligence may be harmful to other drivers on the road, as well. A truck driver who does not receive the correct training, scheduling or support from his or her employer can easily become a danger to everyone on the road.
Victims of trucking accidents may be entitled to financial compensation if they can prove that employer negligence occurred. It is important to seek out an experienced Springfield employer negligence lawyer for assistance with filing and carrying out a lawsuit.
The attorneys at Strong-Garner-Bauer P.C. understand the devastating effects that a trucking accident can have on you and your loved ones.
