How Can I Prove the Truck Driver Was Negligent?

Proving truck driver negligence requires demonstrating that they violated their duty to operate their commercial motor vehicle safely and that the violation directly caused your injuries. Some examples of factors that demonstrate liability include:

• Hours-of-service violations – Logbook records showing the driver exceeded federal driving limits or falsified rest periods
• Impairment – Drug or alcohol test results indicating operation under the influence
• Distracted driving – Cell phone records proving texting or calling at the time of the crash
• Regulation violations – Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation breaches documented in inspection reports
• Cargo issues – Loading records revealing overweight or improperly secured loads that affected vehicle control
• Safety history – Previous accidents or violations demonstrating a pattern of dangerous behavior
