About Negligent Hiring Practices
When hiring truck drivers, companies are expected to follow certain legal requirements. All drivers must have the appropriate driver’s license and a safe driving record. Drivers must also be at least 21 years old and meet certain physical requirements to ensure they can operate trucks safely for an extended period of time. If a company ignores or overlooks any of these requirements when hiring drivers, they could be held responsible for any resulting accidents and injuries.
Responsible Employee Management
Trucking companies are also expected to continue to monitor the driving habits of their employees throughout the duration of their employment. If a driver exhibits dangerous driving behavior or is in any way unfit to perform his or her job, it is the responsibility of the company to rectify the situation. By continuing to employ an unfit driver, trucking companies put everyone on the road in danger.
Anyone injured in a truck accident caused by a negligent or unfit driver should contact our firm immediately. We can review the circumstances of your crash in order to determine whether or not negligent hiring practices might have been to blame.
