Who is Responsible for Injuries in an Improper Maintenance Commercial Truck Accident?

A key task of an improper maintenance truck accident injury lawyer is identifying all of the parties potentially responsible for the accident and your injuries. This can be a far more complicated and challenging task than you might realize on first blush.

A commercial truck owner is required to maintain a maintenance log, which may provide useful evidence on the state of the vehicle and who is responsible for maintaining the rig. Other evidence will be developed by a member of our legal team that will identify potential responsible parties.

These may include:

• truck owner or cartage company
• driver
• third party maintenance provider

The nature and extent of compensation in a commercial truck accident case depends on the facts surrounding the accident and the type of injuries and losses you sustained.

Nevertheless, these are losses that commonly are compensable in a truck accident claim:

• medical bills and expenses
