Among the very important key facts to investigate after a truck accident is the question of whether the trucking company was negligent in hiring or retaining that particular truck driver. This issue often comes to light in the course of a truck accident investigation. An investigator may learn troubling facts such as the following:
- The driver in question did not properly qualify himself for the job in the beginning.
- He did not complete all required training or barely passed.
- He received several traffic violation citations or was arrested for drunk driving in his free time — yet a trucking company kept him on.
- He was showing signs of his age or demonstrating fatigue on the job in various ways, yet the trucking company did not properly monitor and probe to ensure that he was safe to be driving.
If your loved one was killed, or if you suffered a catastrophic injury in a trucking accident, you may be heartbroken and outraged to learn that the truck driver was incompetent. Why and how did he slip through the cracks of licensure? Why didn't the truck company take action when the driver's problematic behavior patterns became known?
