We Hold Truck Drivers and the Companies They Work for Accountable

At Scott M. Brown & Associates, we know that truck accidents can be attributed to numerous causes and there may be multiple parties to blame for the injuries you suffer. Studies by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) indicate that many of these collisions are due to the following:

• Reckless behaviors on the part of the driver, such as speeding or driving under the influence;
• Improper training of drivers on the part of the trucking company in terms of loading and operations;
• A lack of proper safety standards in terms of truck maintenance;
• Defective truck parts, such as tires or brakes;
• Trucking company scheduling practices that are overly demanding, putting truck drivers and other motorists at risk.

When any of the above are a factor in your truck accident, the truck driver, the company they work for, and truck manufacturers may all be held liable for the injuries you suffer.
