Transportation/Trucking Defense

trucks properly parked

Most goods in America are moved by trucks. The trucking industry is one of the most essential components of the supply stream system in the country. If you are in the trucking business, you do everything that you can to ensure that your drivers are well-trained and safe on the road. This includes enforcing strict rest-periods and road safety protocols.

Unfortunately, this is not always enough. If one of your trucks was involved in an accident, you must get out in front of it. Hiring a trucking defense law firm in Jackson Mississippi is the best way to do so.

Liability in a Trucking Accident

In any accident involving a truck, the trucking company will be targeted. The people affected by the accident will not sue the driver, they will sue the company the driver works for and that company’s insurance carrier. You should get your lawyer involved immediately. The driver involved in the accident should not speak to the police or anyone else without the presence of legal counsel. Your company should also initiate its own investigation of the accident in collaboration with an attorney. It is important that you gather all the facts before deciding how to proceed.
