Paulozzi LPA fought long and hard (understatement) for me to get the best outcome possible after my car accident. Joe Paulozzi and Amy Higgins were wonderful… dedicated, persevering, and honest. I cannot thank them enough, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants excellent and proactive representation.

Large commercial trucks are vital to the economy in Ohio. However, collisions between these massive vehicles and passenger cars can lead to serious injuries. In the aftermath of a truck crash, multiple parties may be held liable, and a key factor in these cases is a thorough review of the trucking company’s safety record. At Paulozzi LPA Injury Lawyers, we are here to support you when you need an Ohio truck accident lawyer by your side. Our team is committed to securing compensation for those injured in truck accidents throughout Ohio.

Why a Trucking Company’s Safety Record Matters

Most people don’t consider a trucking company’s safety record until after an accident occurs. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates most aspects of commercial truck operations, including driver and company compliance with safety standards.

If a commercial truck collision results in serious injury or damage, examining the company’s safety history is crucial. A history of non-compliance with FMCSA regulations can strengthen the case against the trucking company, proving their liability in the aftermath of a crash.

The FMCSA provides access to safety-related information on trucking companies through several websites. To retrieve this data, you’ll need the company’s name, USDOT number, or Motor Carrier (MC) Number.

Following a collision that causes injuries, an Ohio truck accident attorney will focus on the following safety records to hold the responsible party accountable:

  • Truck Maintenance and Inspections: Whether the trucking company performed inspections and maintenance as required by the FMCSA.
  • Crash History and Safety Ratings: The company’s past crash data and overall safety rating.
  • Roadside Inspections and Reports: All roadside inspection data and crash reports.
  • Regulatory Investigations: Information on any investigations into the trucking company’s practices.

Additionally, an attorney will examine the company’s hiring practices, employee training programs, and driver supervision methods. This includes reviewing background checks, driver qualification verifications, and the processes used to monitor truck drivers’ logs.

Most large commercial trucking accidents are preventable, and safety regulations exist for a reason. Trucking companies play a crucial role in maintaining vehicles and ensuring that their drivers are adequately trained.
