Who Can Be Held Accountable for a Truck Accident?
For truck accident claims, there are a few parties that may be held accountable for what happened: the truck driver, the trucking company that employed the driver, or the manufacturer, designer, distributor, or retailer of any defective truck parts that contributed to the collision.
A truck driver will be considered liable should they have committed any of the following negligent or reckless acts leading to the accident:
- Speeding
- Driving while fatigued
- Hauling oversized loads
- Ignoring traffic laws
- Ignoring industry regulations
- Cutting off other drivers on the road
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
The trucking company may be held accountable if any of its policies, work practices, or the like caused the accident, such as:
- Requiring its drivers to work while fatigued
- Requiring its drivers to haul oversized loads
- Failing to ensure its trucks are serviced regularly
- Failing to adequately train its drivers
Other employees at the trucking company may also be held liable — such as a cargo loader, engineer, or shift manager — if their failure to follow procedure was the source of the accident.
When the primary cause of a truck accident was a defective part, the party responsible for putting that part on the market and into the truck will be held responsible. For instance, if a tire was defectively designed, then the product designer would be considered legally on the hook. In other cases, the manufacturer is to blame for letting a defective truck part slip through the cracks and make it into the consumer’s hands. These types of claims fall under product liability law, an area of practice in which Alpert Schreyer Injury Accident Lawyers has much experience.
