Who Is Liable After a Truck Accident?
It is essential that every element of a truck accident is carefully investigated. The primary cause of the accident must be determined, and from there, a specific party can be held liable for the accident.
Some of the parties that can be held responsible are:
- The truck driver: In many circumstances, the driver of the 18-wheeler or delivery truck will be held responsible because that party is in control of the vehicle.
- The company: The company that hired the driver can be held responsible if the driver has a history of negligent behaviors that could have tipped them off when making the hiring decision.
- The maintenance company: If the accident was caused by break failure or another repair issue, the repair or maintenance crew can be held responsible.
- The vehicle manufacturer: If it is found that the vehicle or its components are faulty, the manufacturer can be held responsible.
