Identifying the Negligent Parties
All trucking companies and truck drivers are required to obey strict state and federal laws. As such, both parties may face severe legal consequences if a truck accident victim is killed or catastrophically injured. Unfortunately, trucking companies aren’t above ignoring regulations and disregarding potential penalties if it means making a profit. As a result, truck drivers often participate in unsafe driving habits because they are constantly pressured to meet unrealistic deadlines.
Tragic collisions occur because truck drivers participate in these unsafe driving behaviors:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Driving while fatigued
Before you file a personal injury claim, it’s important to first discuss your case with an experienced legal representative who can investigate the accident and accurately identify the negligent parties. Surprisingly, personal injury cases can be a little complicated when a truck driver is involved because multiple entities can share responsibility for a single accident.
The following parties can be held liable in a personal injury lawsuit:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The truck manufacturer
- The maintenance crew
