Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Truck Accident?

Holding the right party responsible is critical to a successful personal injury claim. Truck accident liability is complex and involves an investigation into potential causes, such as vehicle maintenance issues, cargo loading errors, or driver negligence. Possible defendants in a truck accident case may include:

• Trucking Companies: For failing to properly vet, train, or monitor drivers.
• Other Drivers: If another driver’s negligence contributed to the accident.
• Delivery Services: Responsible for accidents caused by delivery vans or trucks.
• Government Agencies: For hazardous road conditions or insufficient signage.
• Manufacturers: For defective truck parts that contributed to the accident.
• Property Owners: If unsafe property conditions led to the accident.

California & Federal Trucking Regulations

Truck drivers and companies must comply with numerous state and federal regulations to ensure public safety. Violations of these laws often lead to severe accidents and liability issues. Key regulations include:

• Hours of Service: Limits on driving hours to prevent drowsy driving.
• Maintenance Requirements: Regular inspections to avoid equipment failure.

When these rules are violated, victims have the right to pursue claims based on negligence or regulatory breaches. Our experienced attorneys at Drake Law Firm understand trucking regulations and will thoroughly investigate any violations to strengthen your case.
