Who is Liable for Truck Accidents

Determining liability in truck accidents can be complex due to the number of parties potentially involved. If you sustained a serious injury or lost a loved one due to negligence, several parties may be held accountable, including

The Truck Driver: Negligence could include distracted driving, fatigue, or driving under the influence.
Trucking Company: They may be liable if they failed to properly maintain the vehicle or enforce safety regulations.
Shipping Company: Liability may arise from improper loading or securing of cargo.
Broker: Responsible for hiring the trucking company, a broker might be liable if they failed to ensure the company's compliance with safety standards.
Truck Manufacturer: Defective parts or poor design can lead to accidents.
A Third Party: Another driver or external factors such as poorly maintained roads might contribute to the accident.

Types of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can occur in various forms, each with its own set of challenges and consequences. Common types of truck accidents include:

Jackknife Accidents: When a truck's trailer swings out to the side, forming a 90-degree angle with the cab, often leading to multi-vehicle collisions.
Rollover Accidents: Trucks can roll over due to high speeds, sharp turns, or improper loading, causing significant damage and injuries.
Rear-End Collisions: Due to their size and weight, trucks can cause severe damage when they rear-end another vehicle.
Underride Accidents: Smaller vehicles can get trapped under the trailer of a truck, often resulting in fatal injuries.
Tire Blowouts: Can cause the driver to lose control, leading to serious accidents.
Wide Turn Accidents: Trucks making wide turns can collide with other vehicles or pedestrians.
