The most important fact to know about alcohol and truck accidents is that, after these accidents, we will be ready to fight for victims’ rights to compensation.
Fact 5: When impaired truckers cause accidents, trucking companies may be held liable.
While truck drivers themselves can be held liable when they have caused accidents because they are intoxicated, in many cases, the trucking companies that employ them can also be sued and be ordered to compensate accident victims. This is because trucking companies are legally required (by federal regulations) to:
- Thoroughly screen truck drivers prior to hiring them (and, therefore, be aware of drivers’ potential history of drunk driving)
- Test drivers for alcohol or drug use when there is reasonable suspicion that a driver may have been operating a truck while impaired
- Conduct random drug testing on truck drivers
- Conduct drug testing on drivers after an accident.
If trucking companies fail to take any of the above measures and a drunk/impaired truck driver under their employment causes an accident, the trucking company can be considered to be just as negligent as the drunk driver (and, therefore, can be responsible for compensating accident victims for their injuries and losses).
