commercial truck driver who owns and operates his or her own rig, could be liable for negligence if they operated the truck under unsafe conditions or if they failed to maintain the vehicle properly. Truck owners, especially in situations where the truck is in demand, sometimes cut corners to keep the rig out on the road earning money. If the accident was even partly caused by vehicle malfunction, the owner could be held responsible if they knew or should have known that the truck was in need of repair and did not take reasonable steps to fix the problem.
