Bronx Trucking Company Negligence Lawyers
Collisions with 18-wheelers can be devastating. Their large size makes them capable of causing severe damage to smaller vehicles, as well as their drivers and passengers. While it is easy to “point the finger” of blame at the truck driver, he or she may not be the only one at fault. In some cases the truck driver’s employer may have committed a negligent action that made the truck less safe.
In this case, the employer may be liable for any property damage, injuries or deaths resulting from the accident. If you or someone you love has been involved in an accident with a commercial truck and you believe a negligent trucking company is to blame, you may have grounds for legal action.

Examples of Employer Negligence
Truck driver employers have a responsibility to hire careful truck drivers and to provide safe vehicles for them to operate. Unfortunately, some employers fail to do this, which may lead to serious injury on the road. Some of the common negligent actions employers perform include:
- Hours of Service Violations
- Negligent Hiring
- Failure to Train Drivers
- Failure to Inspect Vehicles
Any of these negligent actions may lead to an accident on the road, which, in turn, may severely injure or even kill motorists. Our Bronx trucking company liability attorneys strongly believe that careless businesses should be held responsible for the harm they cause.
