These areas of liability include but are not limited to the liability of commercial motor carriers, their officers, agents, representatives, and employees responsible for the management, maintenance, operation, or driving of commercial motor vehicles, or the hiring, supervising, training, assigning, or dispatching of drivers.

The use of this process often helps to identify a defendant’s conscious or reckless disregard of trucking industry safety rules, regulations, standards, practices and procedures, as well as the identification of additional potential trucking industry defendants.
