Frequently Asked Questions
Who is liable in a truck accident?
Multiple parties may be liable: the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, the truck or parts manufacturer, or even a maintenance provider. An attorney can investigate to identify all responsible parties.
Are truck accident settlements larger than car accident settlements?
Generally yes, because injuries tend to be more severe, commercial vehicles carry higher insurance limits, and multiple parties may share liability. However, every situation is unique and depends on the specific circumstances.
