Who is Liable After a Truck Accident?
Determining Liability in Truck Accidents
Liability after a truck accident isn’t always straightforward; in fact, more often than not, the actual driver of a truck is not the one held legally liable for an accident. Most often, the truck company the driver works for is held liable. The main reason for this is that trucking companies are often caught encouraging their drivers to break trucking regulations in order to save their company time and money.
At times the truck driver is the one held liable, especially if the accident was directly caused by their negligence, such as driving while drunk. There are other parties that can be held liable, although it happens less often.
These parties include a truck manufacturer or cargo loading team. The legal team at Angel Law Firm, PL, is experienced in investigating truck accident claims and is ready to help you today.
