Trucking is one of the most common jobs in Canada. However, it is not the most straightforward job to get. Truckers need to have a commercial licence and experience driving large vehicles. Truckers are very flexible with their work schedule and can often work alone or with other truckers. The work can be either long or short-term.
The driver's employment, the commercial truck and trailer ownership, and the different regulations and insurance policies involved make truck-involved personal injury cases complex. The second thing that makes sizeable commercial truck crashes different is how complex it can be to prove the truck driver and owner are at fault. The complex interplay between the owner/operator insurance coverage of the transport truck and the trailer, the potential issues, and the accident benefit issues that these cases will present will require an experienced, knowledgeable, and understanding lawyer to handle your case.
