Determining Liability After a Truck Accident
Unlike car accidents, determining liability in a truck accident can be more complex. An extensive investigation is often necessary to identify the responsible party or parties. In many cases, the trucking company can be held liable, as they may encourage their drivers to disregard trucking regulations to save time and money.
There are instances where the truck driver can be held accountable for the accident, such as if they own their own truck or if their negligence, such as driving under the influence, directly caused the collision. In some rare cases, the truck manufacturer may also be held liable for injuries resulting from manufacturing defects.
No matter the cause of your accident, our skilled legal team at Veritas has the expertise to determine the appropriate party to hold accountable and fight for your rights. Reach out to us today to learn more about how we can assist you.
