Commercial trucks are some of the largest, heaviest vehicles on the roads. Weighing up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, these trucks can cause devastating wrecks even when traveling at low speeds. While the aftermath of these crashes can be tragic, it can also be devastating to know that many of these accidents could have been avoided if some party had been more vigilant and careful.
At the Law Office of James H. Guest, our lawyers have decades of experience advocating the rights of those who have been harmed in serious semi-trailer truck accidents. Skilled and resourceful, we are equipped to provide the highest quality representation in various types of truck wreck claims.
Who's Liable For My Accident And Injuries?
Liability for a truck crash will depend on the factors that caused or worsened that wreck. While our lawyers will identify the specific liable parties in your case (after reviewing your potential claim), in most cases, the following are often cited:
- Commercial truck drivers when their misbehaviors or illegal actions play a role in causing crashes - This can include anything from impaired driving to noncompliance with trucking regulations or general traffic laws.
- Other motorists when their errors or negligence contributes to wrecks - This can involve aggressive or reckless driving, as well as drunk driving, distracted driving, speeding and other failures to comply with traffic laws.
- Trucking companies when their failures are involved in truck accidents - This can include failing to train truckers, hiring truckers who are known to be dangerous and failing to maintain commercial vehicles. It may also involve failures to comply with federal trucking regulations and incentivizing drivers to violate these regulations (for instance, by paying bonuses for early deliveries, which can encourage drivers to violate federal hours-of-service rules).
- Other parties - These parties can include others in the trucking industry like shippers or brokers who may fail to hire qualified, safe truck drivers. They can also include the makers of faulty vehicle equipment, parties who fail to construct or maintain safe roads, etc.
