Who is Liable for a Truck Accident in Flagler County?

One of the most important aspects of a truck accident case is determining who is liable for the accident. Depending on the circumstances, there may be several potentially liable parties. It is also worth noting that the liable party is not always the truck driver. In fact, truck drivers are often not held liable for truck accidents. This is because they are usually employees of a trucking company, which means that the company can be held vicariously liable for their negligence.

Some of the parties that may be held liable for a truck accident include:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company
• The owner of the truck or trailer
• The company that loaded the cargo
• The company that manufactured the truck or any of its parts
• The company that performed maintenance on the truck
• Third-party drivers

Due to the number of potentially liable parties, truck accident cases can be extremely complex. However, our attorneys have the skills and resources to handle even the most complicated cases. We can help you navigate the legal process and fight for the fair and just compensation you are owed.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can be caused by many different factors. Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:

• Driver error: Truck drivers are often under pressure to deliver their cargo as quickly as possible. This can lead to drowsy driving, speeding, and other forms of reckless driving.
• Distracted driving: Truck drivers are just as susceptible to distracted driving as any other motorist. When they take their eyes off the road, even for a few seconds, they can easily cause a serious accident.
• Driving under the influence: Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a serious problem among truck drivers. When they are impaired, they are not able to safely operate their vehicle.
• Poor truck maintenance: Trucking companies have a responsibility to properly maintain their vehicles. If they fail to do so, it can lead to a serious accident.
• Improperly loaded cargo: When a truck is not loaded properly, it can cause the truck to become imbalanced. This can make it difficult for the driver to control the vehicle.
• Inclement weather: Rain, fog, snow, and ice can all make the roads slippery and dangerous. When a truck driver does not adjust his or her driving to the conditions, it can cause an accident.
• Defective truck parts: If a truck part is defective, the driver may not be able to safely operate the vehicle.
