While a trucking company’s negligence can cause an accident and leave it directly liable for any injuries that occur, the company can also be vicariously liable. Vicarious liability laws hold that an employer is liable for any actions its employees take within the “scope of their employment.”
This means that if a driver causes an accident while delivering a load or otherwise performing their job duties, the trucking company can share liability. Our team will determine if we can hold the trucking company vicariously or directly liable for your injuries.
