How Is Liability Determined In A Truck Collision Incident?
When facing injuries following a truck accident, you should focus on two things: - Getting treated for your injuries - Determining liability
How The Accident Occurred The first thing that is usually investigated is the accident itself. Things that most investigators will look at include:
• Where the accident happened • What parties are involved • Who caused the accident • What caused the accident to occur • Weather conditions • Road conditions • Traffic signals in the area
Common Causes The goal is to determine the main cause of the
accident. In most cases where the truck caused the accident, it may seem as if the truck driver was the
one to blame. In reality, truck drivers are liable in most situations as they are exposed to:
▪ Stress ▪ Fatigue ▪ Dizziness ▪ Sleep-deprivation ▪ Lack of focus
▪ Distractions
Other parties could be responsible for causing the accident. These parties include: The company that owns the truck
The owner of the truck
The trucking company that hires the drivers
The cargo loaders
The (parts) manufacturers
Third parties
