Truck accident settlements under $1 million are becoming increasingly common, posing significant financial risks to trucking companies. These smaller verdicts, while less publicized than nuclear verdicts, can accumulate quickly and impact a company’s bottom line. To mitigate these risks, trucking companies must prioritize comprehensive safety training, rigorous driver screening, and proactive maintenance protocols. By implementing robust safety measures and leveraging advanced technology solutions, companies can better protect themselves against the rising tide of smaller settlements and verdicts in the trucking industry.
