Multiple Parties May Bear Responsibility for Your Injuries
Truck accidents can be complex due to the involvement of various parties potentially responsible for the incident. For instance, the driver, the trucking company, or the entity responsible for cargo loading could share liability. Additionally, inadequate road maintenance by the city may contribute to the accident.
Our first task as your legal representatives is to determine the parties at fault. In many cases, multiple parties may share responsibility, including the possibility of partial fault on your part. Fortunately, California law permits you to seek compensation from other liable parties based on their respective percentage of fault. For instance, if your damages amount to $100,000 and the trucking company is found to be 49% at fault, they would be responsible for 49% of the damages, equivalent to $49,000.
Examples of Potential Liability in Truck Accidents
Numerous scenarios can attribute fault entirely or partially to another party involved in the accident. For instance, if the truck driver was fatigued, they would bear fault, but their employer may also share responsibility if they forced the driver to exceed legal working hours. Unsafe road conditions could also contribute to the accident, placing fault on both the driver and their employer if they insisted on driving under those circumstances. Additionally, issues during cargo loading could implicate the driver, the trucking company, or the cargo loading company.
