truck accident guys
how the accident happened is usually the
easiest part of the case in other words
they ran the stop sign
but that’s not the case the case is
you’ve got to get into the bowels of
that Trucking Company what were their
safety programs did they enforce the
safety programs what training did they
give the drivers was the training
continuous or periodical or you know
however it was done but you’ve got to
get into to the bowels as to how that
company operates
so the jury can see
that this wasn’t just somebody running a
stop sign this was a systemic practice
within the company they didn’t care
about safety all they cared about was
the dollars and so you have to get in
and going deeper than what’s the cause
of the accident is and who’s responsible
because it may be there may be other
people responsible besides the trucking
company in connection with a truck case
they may be hauling goods for a company
and that company may have imposed rules
and regulations on the carrier and so
you got to get in and see if they were
complying with those and if they were
not complying with them whoever the
company they were hauling goods for did
not make the trucking company comply
then that’s an additional responsible
party uh in the case so you got to dig
deep into them
