Baltimore Employer Negligence and Liability Attorneys

Trucking companies oversee large fleets of heavy, powerful vehicles that are able to transport everything from loads of gravel to mobile homes. When we rely on semi trucks and 18-wheelers to carry these unwieldy loads, we also trust them to drive carefully and conscientiously. Frustratingly, though, this does not always happen.

In order to decrease costs or save time, some truck employers decide to cut corners when it comes to the safety of their drivers and vehicles. Sadly, this puts everyone else—including you and your loved ones—in harm’s way while on the roads. If you have been hurt due to trucking company negligence, contact a Baltimore employer negligence and liability lawyer from Belsky, Weinberg & Horowitz, LLC, today at 410-234-0100 to discuss your case.

Types of Trucking Company Negligence

Semi trucks and 18-wheelers are huge vehicles that must be well-maintained so that they do not break down or loose control on the highway. Additionally, truck drivers must have special skills and training in order to drive such a powerful vehicle. It is the responsibility of trucking companies to manage both maintenance and driver training. If they do not, it can result in negligence. Types of trucking negligence include:

Frighteningly, due to the size and weight of semi trucks and 18-wheelers, accidents involving these vehicles are often catastrophic. If you have suffered in an accident with a large truck, you should talk to an attorney immediately.
