Was the driver distracted—or had they been pushed to skip mandatory rest breaks to meet impossible delivery schedules?

Was it reckless driving—or a trucking company that skipped critical brake inspections to save money?

Was it a sharp turn—or a company that overloaded the cargo, ignoring safety protocols?

Was it driver error—or a trucking company that hired an underqualified driver without proper training?

In crash after crash, trucking companies often cut corners—and innocent people pay the price.

At Witherite Law Group, we know how to uncover the truth about who’s really responsible.

If you’ve been hurt in a truck wreck, don't settle for blaming just the driver. We dig deeper to hold the companies behind the crash accountable—and fight to get you every dollar you deserve.

The Responsibilities of Trucking Companies

Trucking companies have enormous responsibilities to keep the public safe—and when they fail, lives are shattered. These companies are legally required to:

  • Hire and properly train qualified drivers
  • Enforce strict limits on driver hours to prevent fatigue
  • Perform regular vehicle inspections and maintenance
  • Follow all federal and state trucking regulations
  • Implement safety protocols for cargo loading, driving practices, and more

But in the push for profit, some companies cut corners—skipping maintenance, pressuring drivers to stay on the road longer than allowed, or failing to train operators properly.

When they gamble with public safety and lose, they need to be held accountable.

Liability in Trucking Accidents: It’s Not Always Just the Driver

Truck accident cases are almost never simple. Liability can fall on multiple parties, including:

  • The driver (for negligence or error)
  • The trucking company (for negligent hiring, training, or supervision)
  • The truck manufacturer (for defective parts or systems)
  • Maintenance contractors (for improper repairs)
  • Cargo companies (for unsafe loading practices)

A skilled truck wreck lawyer’s job is to investigate every possible avenue of liability—because the trucking company’s legal team will be working hard to protect their bottom line, not your future.
