After A Truck Accident, Who Is Found Liable?
On Phoenix roads, a semi-truck collision can occur for a variety of causes. Speeding, tiredness, an imbalanced load, a damaged tire or equipment, or a maintenance failure are all possible causes. As a result, the incident might be blamed on several different parties.
The following factors may contribute to trucking accident negligence and hold the following parties liable:
- Driver – The driver may bear the brunt of the blame for a truck accident if they failed to fulfill their professional responsibilities to operate the vehicle properly, drove while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or failed to follow applicable hours of service restrictions.
- Truck parts – Manufacturers of consumer products must guarantee that their products are safe, effective, and capable of working as stated. If a components manufacturer produced a defective item that was later discovered to be the cause of the truck accident, the manufacturer is quite likely to take responsibility for any losses caused by its defective products.
- Maintenance – Many trucking businesses use service providers to maintain their vehicles. If a maintenance contractor fails to conduct needed maintenance on a truck and the vehicle’s poor state causes an accident, the maintenance contractor will almost certainly be held liable for the damages.
- Company – If the company responsible for the truck involved in the crash failed to provide proper training to the driver, been unable to verify the credentials of a young recruit who caused the accident, or otherwise acted negligently in their ability to handle the driver or care of the vehicle, the company will almost certainly bear some or all of the blame for the accident.
- Improper cargo load – The cargo on large tractor-trailers must be carefully balanced. With speed changes and twists, if the vehicle’s load is too far front or back, the vehicle’s weight might shift abruptly. Rollover and tip-over incidents can occur if the cargo is loaded more to one side than the other.
- Tires – To guarantee that the tires they make perform as stated and safely withstand the demands of long-haul road excursions, truck tire manufacturers must undergo extensive quality control testing. If a damaged truck tire causes an accident, the tire maker is likely to bear responsibility for the damages.

Recovering Damages
It might be difficult to fathom what justice looks like, from the loss of life or limb to the economic costs of care or the loss of a source of financial support. In a civil action, compensation is provided in the form of financial compensation. This compensation might cover both economic and non-economic losses. Medical costs, emergency room, and even funeral expenditures (in the event of wrongful death) are some types of compensation that may be awarded to you in a truck accident lawsuit.
The fact is that, in some situations, restoring everything to how it was before your injury may be impossible. We devote ourselves to securing you justice for the negligent conduct of the at-fault parties in your case to the degree that we are able.
