How Are Trucking Accidents Different?
Insurance policies on commercial semis and trucks can be worth many times the amount of insurance on passenger vehicles, as eighteen-wheelers can cause catastrophic damage to people and property.
Because the insurance policies can be worth seven-figure sums, insurance carriers are often willing to do whatever it takes to try to avoid paying a fair amount in compensation.
Winning a truck accident injury case requires:
- Investigating the accident to identify all liable parties
- Compiling the evidence needed to support your claim
- Working with your medical providers and other specialists to determine the value of your claim
- Negotiating a fair settlement with, or taking your case to court for a fair resolution
Determining Liability in Commercial Trucking Accidents
The party held responsible after a trucking accident truly depends on the situation. On some occasions, the driver will be held responsible if they were choosing to negligently ignore guidelines and break rules given to them.
The trucking company may be held liable if they are caught encouraging their drivers to bend rules and break laws, including taking less frequent rest brakes than required.
Lastly, if the truck manufacturer or cargo loading company are held responsible, it is because their error is determined to be the cause of the accident.
