When you are involved in an accident with a semi-truck, in addition to filing a claim against the driver, you may be able to file an action in court against the trucking company. Often, trucking companies are fully or partially responsible for accidents involving their drivers. If this applies in your case, the trucking company may be held liable for your injuries. In fact, your odds of recovery may even be greater if a trucking company is involved in your case, as large companies have the financial resources to pay out settlements and judgments to accident victims.
