Truck accidents can be very catastrophic and result in significant damage, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you are injured in an accident with an untrained driver, you have the right to file a claim and recover compensation for the losses that you experienced.
You could file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver in civil court, as well as his or her employer. In many cases, you could also file an insurance claim against the trucking company’s policy. To secure compensation in your claim, however, you will need to prove that the company is at fault for the collision.
In cases of poor driver training, liability is clear. Trucking companies have a duty to ensure that their drivers have adequate training. If a company fails to uphold this responsibility and employs an inexperienced driver, it would be liable for any collisions that happen.
If you are unsure whether you qualify for a claim, speak to a lawyer at Freedman Law as soon as possible. Our Fresno inadequate driver training attorneys can conduct a full investigation into your accident and help you prove your right to compensation.
