If you or a loved one have been injured or killed in a commercial truck accident, you will have to prove negligence by the truck driver and any other responsible parties. To prove negligence, your truck accident lawyer will determine the truck driver’s duty of care and show that the driver breached that duty. Some of the ways a truck driver can be negligent are texting while driving, running a red light, speeding, running a stop sign, falling asleep at the wheel, and driving while intoxicated.
