We Identify the Responsible Parties for Your Truck Accident and Hold Them Liable
A typical truck accident in Pennsylvania can have more than one responsible party. The driver of the truck may not be the only party financially liable for your injuries. The Cordisco & Saile LLC legal team will launch a thorough investigation of your accident. We can identify all responsible parties, including those you may not have considered.
The most common parties who bear liability for a truck accident are:
The Truck Driver
The driver of the truck is the most obvious responsible party. They are the first person we investigate upon taking your case. We can hold them financially liable by uncovering evidence that they violated a traffic law or broke one of the many regulations put on truck drivers.
If the truck driver who caused your accident was doing any of the following at the time of the crash, they may be liable for your injuries:
- Speeding
- Running a red light
- Running a stop sign
- Driving under the influence
- Texting or driving while otherwise distracted
- Following too closely
- Driving too fast for conditions
- Making an improper lane change
While truck drivers must follow all traffic laws that apply to other motorists, they are also bound by an additional set of regulations that applies only to the trucking industry. Specifically, these laws limit the number of consecutive hours a driver may work (hours of service) and mandate the amount of rest they must take between driving intervals.
Drivers must also service their trucks regularly. They are required to keep up with their driving hours and truck maintenance in a log book, which they must update daily.
The Trucking Company
Under Pennsylvania’s vicarious liability law, accident victims may hold employers responsible for damages caused by their on-the-job workers. We may be able to hold not just the truck driver but also the trucking company liable for your injuries.
Pursuing the trucking company for damages offers several benefits. One, compared to individual drivers, trucking companies usually have more significant financial resources. We can thus extract a bigger settlement from them, and they will be much more likely to pay it. Two, trucking companies are often well-insured, carrying millions of dollars in liability coverage.
Other Responsible Parties
Aside from the truck driver and trucking company, a few additional parties may be liable for your crash. If a defective vehicle component contributed to the accident, we can go after the manufacturer for damages. If the road conditions were unreasonably dangerous, or if a traffic signal malfunctioned, we may be able to take action against the local municipality.
