Holding Drivers and Trucking Companies Liable for Your Injuries
Shortcuts amount to negligence that results in injuries. Truck drivers may feel the pressure from their employers, but that is no excuse for shortcuts that take the form of excessive time on the road with few, if any breaks. By law, a trucking company can be held liable for the negligence of its drivers.

The Need for Compensation That Reflects Your Injuries
The difference in size of cash settlements in commercial truck cases are potentially much larger than auto to auto accidents is due to the severity of the injuries and the size of the insurance policy. Your personal auto insurance is sometimes as low as the Connecticut state mandatory minimum limits require which is $20,000.00. A commercial truck carries insurance coverage with much higher limits. That way, you can be fairly and fully compensated when the driver is negligent.
