Who else may have legal liability for my accident?

There are often multiple parties with potential legal liability to victims of a truck accident. In addition to the driver, other potentially liable parties may include:

• The trucking company that was tasked with ensuring that the driver had the proper licensing and training to operate the truck and who placed the truck driver on the road as their employee.
• The shipping company, to the extent its decisions affected the safety of the trucking equipment or cargo.
• An individual or entity tasked with maintaining and repairing the vehicle so that it remained in a safe condition.
• The manufacturer or distributor of truck parts, if the accident resulted from the failure of a defective part.
