What if The Truck Driver Is Not Responsible?

Auto Accidents

truck accident lawyerAfter you have been in a car accident involving a truck, you probably want to know who is at fault, especially when you are facing high medical bills. It is always best to hold someone responsible when they have caused your injuries, but what if the truck driver is not at fault? You might be thinking that if you and the truck driver are the only two people there at the time of the accident then it is unlikely someone else is responsible. However, there may be a few different possibilities. 

Who else could be liable? 

If the truck driver is denying liability, you may want to work with a lawyer, like a truck accident lawyer from a law firm like The Krause Law Firm to determine if someone else may be responsible for the truck accident that caused your injuries. 

  • The trucking company. In some instances, even if the truck driver was responsible for the accident, they may not be the ones who have to pay. You may be looking to file a claim against the trucking company because, in the event that you were injured in an accident, the trucking company would be responsible for their employee’s negligence. 
  • The local governance. If the accident could have been avoided if there were appropriate road signs or if the road was in better condition, it may not be the truck driver’s fault and instead, you may be looking at filing a claim with the local governance.
  • The truck parts manufacturer. Unfortunately, many trucks may be at a higher risk for accidents because the manufacturer of the parts may have provided the trucking company with a defective or malfunctioning product. When this is the case, a lawyer can help you file a claim against the pars manufacturer. 
  • The truck’s mechanic. If the truck was not properly maintained between trips by the mechanic, then it is possible this was the cause of the accident, whether it was worn brake pads or old tires. If the accident occurred because the truck was not maintained, you may have the best opportunity to receive compensation if you file a claim against the mechanic.
