When Independent Contract Truck Drivers Cause Accidents
An independent contract truck driver is self-employed. He or she owns or leases a truck and has an exclusive contract with one trucking company or hauls loads for several truck companies. When an independent contract truck driver causes a truck accident, the trucking company can still be held liable for the truck driver's conduct.
