What relevance does the at-fault truck driver’s driving record have in a truck accident lawsuit?

The driver’s driving record is very relevant, especially when determining whether suit should be brought against the driver’s employer. If a truck driver’s driving record is replete with traffic violations, his or her employer will likely need to have a very compelling reason as to why they decided to hire him or her and what precautions they took to ensure this dangerous driver did not endanger others. In a similar vein, a clean driving record can be used by the driver and his or her employer to suggest that the employer had no reason to suspect the driver was in need of additional training and supervision.
