Determining who is liable for a commercial truck accident requires you to analyze every detail of the case. The truck driver isn’t always at fault. Another motorist’s negligence could have caused or contributed to the accident. Fault can also lie with a trucking company that violated safety regulations, a mechanic who failed to maintain or repair trucks properly, a party that loaded cargo improperly, or the manufacturer of malfunctioning vehicle components.
A thorough evaluation of all evidence, including the truck’s black box data, maintenance logs, and driver logs, may reveal negligence that wasn’t immediately apparent. That’s why you need to consult with an experienced attorney who can assess the full facts of your individual situation.
-
Following a truck accident, you can pursue compensation through the trucking company's auto insurance company and any other defendants’ insurers. An attorney can help you submit the required paperwork and documentation and represent you in settlement negotiations.
If a settlement agreement that fairly compensates you can’t be reached, the insurer isn’t cooperating, or legal deadlines are approaching, your attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf. This step begins the litigation process, which includes multiple stages and legal proceedings. While your attorney can still work to negotiate a settlement during the litigation process, we also prepare to present your case in court and secure a verdict or award that compensates you.
