Truck drivers can be fired for an accident, but an accident doesn’t insure that a truck driver will be fired. Whether or not a truck driver is fired for an accident depends on the facts, including the severity of the damages, any injuries that occurred, and who is at fault. A truck driver will presumably be fired after an accident when it is mostly or all his or her fault and major damages have occurred. Damages that happen from a truck accident will play a large role in whether or not the driver will be fired or have his or her contract terminated after the accident. If you’ve been involved in a truck accident and need to recover substantial damages, you may need to pursue a lawsuit to get all of the compensation you deserve.
