Man Claims Company Allowed Reckless Driver On The Roads

On behalf of Lovett Law Firm posted in Car Accidents on Tuesday, August 25, 2015.

If you’ve ever been in a car accident, then you know that someone needs to be held accountable. Sometimes, it’s hard to decide who to hold accountable; should you file a claim against a company that a driver works for, the manufacturer of a vehicle that may have been defective or the driver himself? Can you file against all three or multiple parties? Your case could vary, but this is what one person decided to do.

A resident of Jacksonville decided to seek compensation from an Arizona-based corporation after an employee caused an accident that caused injuries to the man. Filing in a Texan court, the man claimed that the company, Allied Waste Systems, Inc., was negligent. His complaint reports that the employee of the company had been driving on CR 4102 in his tractor-trailer. He came up to the man, who was driving on the same road, and struck him from behind.

According to the lawsuit, the employee is accused of failing to yield to the right of way, not driving at a safe speed, failing to keep a lookout and failing to stop in a timely manner. He’s been faulted with violating a number of Transportation Codes in the state as well.

Why would the company be held responsible? The man claims that the company knowingly allowed the reckless driver to use its vehicle. Allowing the employee to cause the accident resulted in the man suffering from mental and physical impairment and anguish. He reports a loss of wages and earning capacity as well as a loss due to medical care costs.
