Liability in Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents can be devastating, resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. When a trucking accident occurs, it is important to determine who is liable for the injuries and damages that have been caused.

The following parties may be held liable for a trucking accident:

• The truck driver: The truck driver may be held liable if they were negligent in any way, such as by driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, speeding, or failing to obey traffic laws.
• The trucking company: The trucking company may be held liable vicariously for the negligent acts of their driver, who is its employee, agent or contractor. The truck company may also be held liable if they failed to properly hire, train, or supervise their drivers. The trucking company may also be held liable if they failed to properly maintain their trucks or if they overloaded the truck.
• The manufacturer of the truck or its parts: The manufacturer of the truck or its parts may be held liable if there was a defect in the truck or its parts that caused the accident. That claim would be a products liability claim.
• The cargo owner or loader: The cargo owner or loader may be held liable if the cargo was not properly loaded or secured, and this contributed to the accident.
