The truck driver is responsible for the incident, but in many cases there are other parties who can also be held liable. For example, if a semi-truck overturns on an icy road, the truck driver is responsible for not being in control of the vehicle. However, if the accident was caused by a poorly maintained road, there may be grounds to sue both parties.
Truck companies are required to maintain their vehicles and keep them in good condition. If the truck was poorly maintained, they may be held liable for damages caused by a breakdown or accident. If the truck driver was not properly trained, they can be held liable for damages caused by their actions or inactions. For example, if a truck driver does not know how to properly operate their vehicle, they may be held liable for damages caused by a breakdown or accident. Truck drivers are required to obey all traffic laws and regulations. If the truck driver was speeding, driving carelessly, or violating other traffic laws, he or she may be held liable for damages caused by a breakdown or accident.
