Company vehicle accidents in Louisiana often occur due to driver fatigue, distracted driving, speeding, poor vehicle maintenance, and inadequate driver training. Weather conditions, road hazards, and drug or alcohol use can also contribute to these car accidents.
Proper safety protocols for employee drivers should be in place, and the employer’s or the driver’s failure to uphold safety measures can be a relevant factor impacting liability. The employer can face vicarious liability for a car crash in a vehicle used in the course of employment.
