Holding Negligent Trucking Companies Accountable

Serious truck crashes are rarely just driver error. Behind many of them stands a company decision: hiring a driver with a disqualifying record, skipping training, deferring maintenance, tolerating log falsification or building schedules that punish safety. The driver is on the police report — the company's choices are in the files.

Corporate negligence cases are won in discovery: driver qualification files, drug and alcohol testing records, maintenance and inspection histories, prior violations, safety audits and internal communications. Knowing what to demand — and recognizing what is missing — requires an attorney who lives in trucking litigation.

A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, he has devoted his entire legal career to truck crash litigation.

Accountability at the company level does more than compensate one family. It changes carrier behavior — and that is how the next crash gets prevented.
