In truck accident cases, multiple parties may share fault, making these cases more complex than other types of vehicle accidents. To prove fault in these cases, you’ll need to determine whether the truck driver involved is an independent contractor or an employee with a specific company. Suppose the driver is an employee of a company. In that case, you may have the chance to file a claim against the company for certain contributing factors, including inadequate training, defective parts, insufficient maintenance, or others.
Trucking companies might be liable for an accident and subsequent injuries if they fail to maintain different parts of trucks, including tires and brakes. In other cases, drivers may be solely responsible due to unsafe driving practices and other forms of negligence. Regardless of which party is at fault, our experienced legal team can help determine who was at fault and work to identify the specific cause of each accident.
