Depending on the circumstances of the accident, a truck driver may be fired by their employers if they were involved in an accident. This is usually if the accident’s circumstances involve reckless behavior. Truck drivers are expected to be licensed, follow their hours of service regulations, take breaks when necessary, and operate their vehicles with care. However, some truck accidents are caused by safety violations or poor safety policies in the trucking company that are revealed through an investigation. If this happens, the trucking company may be forced to make changes that improve the safety standards company-wide. With so much at stake, having an attorney on your side is vital to ensuring the case is fully investigated.
