Understanding the Liable Parties in a Truck Accident
Drivers are required to carry insurance to drive on California highways. In a car accident, you generally have only one other defendant to determine liability. Generally, you would file your claim against the other party’s insurance to reimburse your losses.
Many people and industries participate in the delivery of goods. When you are in an accident with a commercial vehicle, multiple parties could be involved in your lawsuit. Liable parties can include the truck driver, the transportation company, insurance companies, parts manufacturers, or even the loading service.
Our truck accident attorneys benefit our victims by using our knowledge and experience to investigate the cause of your collision. Our team can use science, evidence, and additional information to resolve the cause of your crash. When we determine the liable parties involved, we can then work to maximize the compensation you will need.
