While a car accident typically involves just the (often two) parties involved in the crash, commercial truck accidents can be much more complicated. This is because, in addition to the drivers involved, the trucking company that employs the truck driver also becomes a part of the case. As the driver’s employer, the company may bear legal responsibility for the actions of its driver and the trucks it owns.

While a full investigation will be needed in order to determine which parties can be held liable in a particular trucking accident, there are generally several parties that can be involved. These include:

In order for the right parties to be held liable, it is imperative that any evidence pertaining to the trucking accident is gathered as soon as possible. This includes photos and videos taken during or after the crash, police reports, vehicle inspections, company records and logs, witness statements, and more.

Always discuss your situation or case with an expert truck accident attorney. Doing so will ensure that you have the right guidance, information, and support to pursue legal action after a trucking accident.
