There are several differences between truck and car accidents. First, trucks are tightly regulated, and accident investigations require looking for regulatory violations. Second, truck drivers are rarely personally liable.
Instead, we pursue compensation from large parties, like the trucking company. Third, it’s common to have multiple defendants, such as the broker, distributor, owner of the cargo, the truck owner, and truck driver. Fourth, commercial vehicles have to carry higher insurance limits than smaller vehicles, which means you have a better chance of recovering a significant settlement.
