Determining Liability in a Truck Accident Case

Truck accidents can result in devastating consequences, and determining liability is crucial in pursuing rightful compensation. Several parties may be involved in a truck accident case, such as the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loaders, or even the manufacturer of the truck or its components. Our experienced truck accident lawyers will conduct a thorough investigation to identify all potentially liable parties and build a strong case to hold them accountable for your injuries and damages.

Factors that may contribute to liability in a truck accident include driver negligence, such as fatigue, distracted driving, or violations of traffic laws, as well as inadequate maintenance, improper cargo loading, or violations of trucking industry regulations. Establishing liability will require collecting evidence, analyzing trucking logs, reviewing maintenance records, and examining any available surveillance footage or witness testimonies.
