Toronto Employer Negligence Lawyers<\/h1>\n

Operating a semi truck or 18-wheeler on Canadian highways is no easy task. Properly maneuvering a heavy rig with large dimensions requires years of intensive training and experience, making it pivotal for trucking companies carefully hire their drivers, conduct background checks, and provide the necessary training that will allow safe navigation. Unfortunately, many trucking companies skirt over required hiring practices and employ inadequate drivers whose inexperience increases the likelihood of an accident. In these cases, the truck driver\u2019s employer is more responsible for any accidents and ensuing injuries that occur than the driver themselves.<\/p>\n

Consequently, this encourages drivers to breach safety standards and regulations.

\n
• Failing to conduct mandatory drug tests<\/li>\n
• Failing to conduct a physical examination of drivers<\/li>\n
