Liable Parties in a Commercial Truck Accident

Determining liability in a commercial truck accident can be complex. There could be multiple parties at fault for these accidents, and our team can help identify each of them.

The Driver

Truck drivers are often the first considered when accidents occur. A driver may be liable if they were speeding, driving while fatigued, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Violations of federal hours-of-service rules, distracted driving, or failing to properly inspect their vehicle before a trip can also establish negligence.

The Trucking Company

Trucking companies can be held accountable for the actions of their drivers, especially if they failed to enforce safety standards. They may be liable for pressuring drivers to meet unrealistic delivery schedules, failing to provide proper training, or neglecting to maintain vehicles properly. Companies also carry insurance policies that often cover significant damages, making their role critical in any claim.

The Vehicle Manufacturer

In some cases, the truck itself may have been defective. If a brake system fails, a tire blows out, or another mechanical defect contributes to the accident, the manufacturer or parts supplier may be responsible. Product liability claims ensure that victims can pursue compensation when faulty equipment plays a role in the crash.

What Is My Case Worth?

One of the first questions asked following a truck accident is “What is my case worth?” It is natural to wonder what kind of compensation might be available, especially if you are dealing with mounting medical debts and the inability to earn a living.

It is not possible to predict with certainty what your case is worth. While there are too many variables to make a guarantee, our attorneys can help you identify the types of damages available in your case. If your claim is successful, you could recover the following:

• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Vehicle repairs
• Diminished future earnings
• Past and future medical bills
