Champaign Trucking Company Failure to Train Lawyers

Trucking companies must ensure that the drivers they hire have received or do receive adequate training so that they may safely handle the massive vehicles which they are to operate. Despite this, many carriers are more interested in getting drivers on the road quickly or simply cutting costs for training programs. As a consequence, untrained or inadequately trained drivers are placed on the road without concern for the safety hazard this presents to all motorists.

If you have been hurt in a truck accident, it may be due to the failure of a trucking company to uphold its responsibilities. The Champaign failure to train attorneys of Spiros Law, P.C. can help you to conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether this may have been a factor.

Reckless Drivers from Reckless Companies

While a negligent driver is a serious threat to anyone sharing the road with them, their employer may share in their negligence by allowing them to be on the road in the first place. If a skilled attorney can demonstrate that the carrier failed to uphold its obligations, legal action may be sought against the trucking company. A few of the criteria trucking companies are expected to utilize in determining whether drivers have received sufficient training are:

  • Proper certification and CDL license
  • In-house training to eliminate the use of stimulants and other drugs
  • Training in proper log maintenance
  • Additional equipment-specific driver training as necessary

Without these base levels of education and training, a trucking company cannot place a driver on the road without exposing itself to significant liability.
