Inadequate Training

Roads, highways, and interstates crisscross tens of thousands of times throughout metro Chicago and the state of Illinois, and thousands of large commercial trucks travel these roads each day. Liability in accidents involving large trucks sometimes falls on the trucking company, other times on the driver, and in some cases the company may be legally liable for inadequately training a driver. If you or a loved one has been in an accident involving a large truck.

We at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses, and this includes working with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure a favorable settlement. Trucking companies are legally obligated to ensure that their truck drivers are capable and qualified, and basic competence typically requires:

• Physical capability – Commercial truck drivers must be physically fit to handle their vehicles, which includes clear vision and hearing, full awareness from proper rest, and lack of debilitating medical conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, narcolepsy, and so on.
• Passing a driving test – Completion of a comprehensive test for commercial driving is required to become licensed.
• Passing a background test – Trucking companies must obtain detailed data on all truck drivers, including employment history and driving records.
• Code of Federal Regulations – Trucking companies must also follow certain federal regulations related to proper training and testing requirements before a driver can be certified.

Large commercial trucks are extremely heavy and usually carry loads which may shift within the vehicle, and poor road or weather conditions can further increase the difficulty of maintaining control. Professional truck drivers must be adequately trained to handle these gargantuan vehicles in all situations and circumstances, as accidents resulting from negligence can result in serious injuries and even death, and the trucking company, the driver, or both may be legally liable when inadequate training directly results in an accident.
