Truck accidents can have a devastating impact on the lives of individuals involved, and Texas witnesses thousands of people getting injured each year due to collisions involving trucks and commercial vehicles. If you find yourself in this devastating situation, it is crucial to understand that you may have legal options to take against the responsible party. By filing a personal injury claim, you can seek financial compensation to help alleviate some of the burdens caused by the accident.
Identifying the liable parties is essential in pursuing your claim for economic damages and non-economic, such as pain and suffering. Several parties can be held accountable, including the truck driver, trucking company, manufacturer of the truck, and the shipper of the cargo. The truck driver may be held responsible if they were negligent by speeding, being distracted, or engaging in other unsafe behaviors.
In addition, the trucking company can be held liable if they fail to properly maintain the vehicle or employed an inexperienced driver. In cases where a defect in the design or manufacture of the truck contributed to the accident, the manufacturer may also be held accountable. Additionally, if improper loading or securing of the cargo resulted in an accident, the shipper could be deemed liable.
