Who Is Liable for a Truck Accident?
In most cases, the truck driver and the trucking company are liable for the damages caused in a truck accident. However, in some situations, the trucking company can avoid liability by proving that the driver was not properly trained or that they were not following proper safety protocols.
In order to prove liability in a truck accident case, our attorneys must prove that the truck driver was negligent.
To prove negligence, our attorneys will need to show that the truck driver:
- Was acting in an unsafe manner
- Did not act as a reasonable person would act in the same situation
- Caused an accident due to their unsafe driving
In some cases, the truck driver's employer can be held liable for the accident if the truck driver was not properly trained or if they were not following proper safety protocols.
