How is Truck Accident Liability Determined?

When it comes to trucking accidents, there can be a variety of factors that lead to the accident. Whether the driver was behaving negligently by driving while intoxicated or if the trucking company failed to properly load and secure the cargo.

Either of these types of negligence have the potential to lead to a serious trucking accident. When establishing liability (who should be held accountable for the accident) it's important to understand what caused the accident in the first place.

Some different parties that may be held liable in the event of a truck accident include:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company
• The cargo supplier or manufacturer
• The truck owner or manufacturer
