Yes. In many situations, trucking companies can be held responsible for the negligence of their drivers under a legal principle known as respondeat superior, which generally allows employers to be liable for actions taken by employees within the scope of their job duties.
A trucking company may also face direct liability if it:
- Failed to properly screen drivers
- Hired an unqualified driver
- Encouraged unsafe driving practices
- Failed to train employees
- Ignored maintenance issues
- Violated federal trucking regulations
Investigating both the driver's conduct and the company's safety practices is often essential in a truck accident case.
