Cherry Hill Trucking Company Negligence Attorneys
An experienced lawyer understands that the actions of the truck driver cannot be the sole object of a trucking accident investigation. A thorough review of the actions taken — or not taken — by the trucking company itself must also be conducted. At the Ferrara Law Firm, LLC, we conduct thorough investigations. Since 1972, our Cherry Hill law firm has handled truck accident lawsuits in courts throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, earning a record of success that includes multimillion-dollar jury verdicts and settlements.
Negligent Hiring Practices
In many cases, the act of negligence that ultimately caused the trucking accident was performed by the driver. It was the driver who spent too many hours behind the wheel. It was the driver who got behind the wheel while intoxicated. However, the trucking company was responsible for putting the driver behind the wheel. In many cases, truck companies could have potentially avoided accidents had they conducted a more thorough background check or had they not overlooked a background that included traffic violations or DUI/DWI offenses. We hold trucking companies accountable for their truck drivers' negligence.
Who Takes Care of Semi Trucks?
Semi-truck accidents can be complex because of issues of ownership. In some cases, the tractor is owned by one party, perhaps the owner/operator who is also the driver, and the trailer is owned by another party, such as the trucking company. We know our way around these unique issues, which is important when we determine that improper truck maintenance played a role in an accident. We will find out who was responsible for caring for the truck, and we will hold that party responsible for the accident.
