Liability in a Truck Accident

When you are involved in a truck accident, one of the first questions a personal injury lawyer will seek an answer to is who is liable for the accident. In some cases, the trucking company can be liable for injuries caused by an accident depending on the circumstances. A truck accident may have multiple parties who are liable for several reasons.If the driver was distracted in some way, they could be a liable party. Additionally, if the tractor trailer was not maintained on a regular basis, both the truck driver and the trucking company could be liable for negligence. Determining liability is a very tricky process which often requires the expertise of a team of attorneys who understand the ins and outs of building a truck accident case.

What Does the Litigation Process Look Like?

The litigation process following a truck accident is not unlike that of a car accident, but often takes more time. The process starts with documenting the accident if possible, getting a police report, and seeking medical attention. Additionally, it will need to be proven that you were not at fault in your accident. An attorney will work to establish that you are not liable for your accident, and will also compile driving history, driving records, logs, and other information for both the truck driver and the company to determine liability. Liability can be influenced by the intent of the truck driver while on the road, their conduct while employed with the company, the work which they were hired to do, and whether they have been involved in any other accidents. An attorney will also research the trucking company to determine whether they have established and maintained proper safety standards when hiring truckers and maintaining their vehicles. Route schedules also come into question to ensure that the truck driver was following company protocols and taking appropriate safety measures. All of these factors and more play a role in determining liability and settling your claim. An experienced attorney can help wade through all of this evidence to build your case.
