Identifying the At-Fault Party After a Truck Wreck Is a Complicated Process
After a truck wreck, it can be hard to know where to turn for compensation because, unlike a car wreck, there might be more than one financially liable party. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) research cites road conditions, fatigued driving, and hours-of-service violations as common causes of truck wrecks. If these or any other acts of negligence led to your wreck, our attorneys would help you fight for the compensation you deserve from the proper entities.
Depending on the cause of the wreck, you could be entitled to compensation from:
- The truck driver if their actions or behavior caused the collision
- The trucking company if improperly loaded cargo or company practices that pressured the driver to forego safety regulations caused the wreck
- The truck’s manufacturer if a flawed or faulty vehicle caused the wreck
- A parts manufacturer if flawed of faulty tires, brakes, or other truck parts caused the wreck
- A municipality if poor road conditions or a malfunctioning traffic signal led to the accident
You do not have to do anything to prove the wreck’s cause or identify the at-fault party. Our truck wreck attorneys will handle this task for you and accurately assign liability. We will also communicate with the at-fault party and negotiate on your behalf.
