Operator error is one of the main contributors to commercial truck accidents in Illinois. However, sometimes the fault for an accident falls more on the trucking company than the driver. Many commercial vehicle companies across the country create ideal conditions that could lead to a serious truck accident. Victims injured in such a collision need to know this information, especially if they are seeking a legal remedy for their suffering.
Think about it this way: A truck driver is usually just an employee attempting to follow any conditions set forth by the company for which he or she works. If the company pressures its drivers in just the right way, it could lead the operators to ignore certain safety conditions.
For example, if drivers believe their job is at risk, they may succumb to the company’s demands to perform their jobs faster. In another example, a negligent trucking company might ignore safety training in order to get its drivers out on the road faster. Finally, many trucking companies offer incentives that could cause drivers to engage in reckless or negligent driving behaviors.
We want you to understand how important it is for truck accident victims to identify who is responsible for their injuries. Sometimes, it is solely the driver’s fault, and sometimes it is the company’s fault. In other situations, the fault may lie with multiple parties including the driver and his or her employers.
Injury attorneys know how to uncover any hidden fault that contributed to a truck accident. By relying on a lawyer’s investigation and negotiation skills, victims have the best chance of acquiring compensation after a negligent commercial vehicle accident.
