Not all truck accidents can be blamed on the truck driver or the driver of another vehicle. Some truck accidents are the result of negligence on the part of the trucking company itself. Whether by faulty hiring practices, failure to enforce safety guidelines, failure to inspect and maintain trucks, or other careless acts, trucking company negligence puts lives at risk.
At Aiken & Scoptur, we handle truck accident lawsuits for clients from Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin. Our attorneys are adept at uncovering the root causes of truck accidents, including trucking company liability.

How Do Trucking Companies Cause Accidents?
There are a number of ways in which negligence on the part of a trucking company can lead to an accident involving an 18-wheeler or other large commercial truck.
- Failure to screen employees, allowing underqualified drivers to operate large trucks
- Failure to perform background checks
- Failure to require drug tests
- Failure to enforce safety guidelines
- Failure to provide adequate training
- Failure to enforce disciplinary measure
In handling truck accident injury claims, we work to uncover the facts surrounding the accident and to identify all liable parties. The at-fault party may be the truck driver, the trucking company, a combination of the two or even a third party, such as the manufacturer of a truck component.
In every case, we strive to help our clients obtain maximum compensation for their losses, including medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering, and other hardships.
