Liability for Roxbury Township Semi-Truck Accidents
Many people are killed or seriously injured each year in accidents involving semi-trucks. According to the National Safety Council, “In 2023, 5,375 large trucks were involved in a fatal crash, an 8.4% decrease from 2022 but a 43% increase in the last 10 years. The involvement rate per 100 million large-truck miles traveled is down 8% from 2022, but up 22% in the last 10 years.” Several factors could contribute to any car accident.
- Distracted driving
- Inclement weather
- Poor road conditions
- Fatigue
If a driver fails to slow down to avoid colliding with another vehicle, this could serve as evidence of negligence. Depending on the specific facts of any case, liability for any truck accident could extend beyond any one truck driver. The company that they worked for could also be liable. Generally speaking, employers are vicariously liable for the wrongful actions of their workers who are operating within the course and scope of their job duties.
