When can I sue a trucking company?
You can sue a trucking company when one of their drivers causes injury by driving negligently. Kentucky law holds a trucking company vicariously liable for the actions of their drivers. What this means is that a company has to pay damages for the actions of their employees. This makes sense because the trucking company hires the trucker and should be responsible for actions performed for working in the interest of the trucking company. You can also sue a trucking company for violating federal statutes, acting in an unsafe manner, and putting dangerous drivers on the roadway.
