Determining Liability After a Truck Accident
Semi-truck collisions on Phoenix roads can happen for many reasons, including speeding, driver fatigue, unbalanced cargo, tire or equipment failure, or maintenance issues. These factors mean that liability for the accident may fall on multiple parties.
The following factors can contribute to negligence in trucking accidents, potentially holding these parties accountable:
- Driver – The driver may hold primary responsibility for a truck accident if they neglected their professional duty to operate the vehicle safely, drove under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or violated hours-of-service regulations designed to prevent fatigue.
- Truck Parts – Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products are safe, reliable, and function as intended. If a defective component produced by a manufacturer is determined to have caused the truck accident, the manufacturer may be held liable for the resulting damages.
- Maintenance – Trucking companies often rely on service providers to maintain their vehicles. If a maintenance contractor neglects to perform necessary repairs or upkeep, and the vehicle’s poor condition leads to an accident, the contractor may be held liable for the resulting damages.
- Company – The trucking company may bear responsibility if it failed to properly train the driver, neglected to verify the credentials of an inexperienced recruit who caused the accident, or acted negligently in managing the driver or maintaining the vehicle. In such cases, the company could be held partially or fully accountable for the accident.
- Improper Cargo Load – Cargo on large tractor-trailers must be evenly and securely balanced. If the load is improperly distributed—such as being too far forward, too far back, or unevenly loaded to one side—it can shift during speed changes or turns, increasing the risk of rollovers or tip-overs.
- Tires – Truck tire manufacturers are responsible for conducting rigorous quality control testing to ensure their tires can safely handle the demands of long-haul travel. If a defective tire causes an accident, the manufacturer may be held accountable for the resulting damages.

Recovering Damages
Understanding what justice entails can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with the loss of life, serious injuries, or the economic burden of medical care and lost financial support. In civil cases, justice is often sought through financial compensation to address these hardships. This compensation might cover both economic and non-economic losses. Medical expenses, emergency room fees, and even funeral costs (in cases of wrongful death) are examples of the types of compensation that may be awarded in a truck accident lawsuit.
The reality is that in some cases, fully restoring life to how it was before your injury may not be possible. However, we are committed to pursuing justice on your behalf and holding the responsible parties accountable for their negligence to the fullest extent possible.
