FAQ: Why can one of these companies be held financially liable for a construction vehicle accident when it was the improper operation by the driver that caused the accident?
The company that employs the person who actually operates the construction vehicle is responsible for making sure only qualified and properly trained individuals are operating this dangerous equipment. When that company fails to properly train and certify these operators, life-threatening injuries can result. The legal system allows accident victims to pursue claims for compensation against these companies in order to hold them responsible for this negligence, and so that victims can get justice for their injuries.
