Who is liable in a commercial vehicle accident?

One of the most complex parts of a truck accident is figuring out liability. You know that the commercial driver was negligent, but who will pay your damages? In a typical accident between two passenger vehicles, you make a claim against the other driver’s insurance. However, when a business is involved, the situation may not be so straightforward. The parties could include:

The driver, who may be self-employed or may work for the trucking company or an independent delivery company. Commercial drivers must follow a host of state and federal regulations.
The company that owns the truck, if not the driver. They may also be liable for not keeping the truck in good working order if a maintenance issue caused the accident.
The company that loaded the truck with the goods being delivered, if they loaded it improperly.
The truck manufacturer, if a defective part caused the accident.

Our team of Kentucky and Tennessee lawyers is experienced in doing a thorough investigation of the cause of the accident. We know how to navigate the different parties and their possible liability in an accident. We also understand how to work with multiple commercial insurance companies.
