The Truck Accident Law Firm Blog

One of the most important aspects of any lawsuit is determining who is to blame. In a trucking accident, this is not a simple process. Your attorney must have an in-depth understanding of trucking laws in order to investigate properly. Truckers and trucking companies are required to keep extensive records and adhere to very strict rules regarding truck maintenance, time spent on the road, vehicle loading, hiring and monitoring of drivers and much more.

The underlying cause of the truck accident, and ultimately who is to blame, is often hidden in a maze of paperwork that your attorney must know to request and be able to interpret to reveal the issues relevant to your case. Defendants can include:

• Truck driver
• Trucking company
• Owner of the truck
• Contractor
• Truck manufacturer
• Insurance company

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a truck accident, you do have legal rights.
