Potentially, yes.
Commercial trucking companies must follow extensive regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These rules govern driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, hours-of-service requirements, drug testing, inspections, and more.
If a trucking company violated a safety regulation and that violation contributed to a crash, it may serve as powerful evidence of negligence.
Examples include:
- Allowing drivers to exceed legal driving hours
- Hiring unqualified drivers
- Failing to maintain trucks
- Ignoring inspection violations
- Failing to conduct required drug or alcohol testing
Safety records available through federal trucking databases can often reveal patterns of noncompliance that become important evidence in litigation.
