Truck accidents adhere to the same fault rule that applies to all other vehicle accidents. The party that caused the accident absorbs liability for the resulting damages. However, truck accidents are often more complex when it comes to proving fault due to the issue of vicarious liability that can arise in these cases. A truck driver could bear sole liability, or they may share fault with their employer under certain conditions. Your Stockton truck accident attorney can help identify each liable party responsible for your damages.
