What if the driver claims they did inspect the truck but didn’t find any problems?

The DVIR the driver was required to complete is a document — and documents can be analyzed. A DVIR showing “no defects” on a truck that was later found to have serious mechanical problems is either evidence of a falsified inspection or an inspection so superficial it failed to meet the federal standard. Both support your negligence claim. Expert witnesses can testify about what a proper inspection of that vehicle would have revealed.
