When someone is negligent, they may be held responsible for your injuries. Negligence is often difficult to define; however, a drunk driver can be considered negligent. Negligence takes on many forms – for example, a trucking company may be pushing drivers to travel long distances without allowing sufficient time between deliveries. In this case, the company may be considered negligent if you were injured by a truck driver who was speeding to get to his next delivery destination. A personal injury attorney will discuss all of the aspects of your accident with you and help determine who is responsible.
