Who is responsible for my truck crash injuries?
The fault in an automobile accident is usually easily determined; however, this is not always the case when dealing with truck accidents. Tractor trailers have many different individuals who are responsible for the safe operation of the truck – and more than one person can be at fault when a crash occurs. The Silver Spring truck crash lawyers at Nickelsporn & Lundin will determine if there were oversights that lead to the tractor trailer crash by examining each and every party including:
- Truck Driver – The truck driver is most understandably the first place to start. We will review the situation to determine if they were negligent in anyway, including examining driver’s logs and full compliance with all trucking regulations.
- Trucking Company – The trucking company could be held liable for allowing a driver with insufficient training to operate a semi truck.
- Loading Company – The load on the truck must be properly loaded, balanced, and secured. A failure to do so could cause catastrophic damages.
- Equipment Manufacturer – An equipment failure could cause the driver to lose control of the truck, resulting in a serious Maryland 18-wheeler crash.
- Maintenance Company – Negligence on part of the maintenance company is unacceptable. Shortcuts on maintenance, such as the failure to repair lights, brakes and mirrors are unacceptable.
- Road Maintenance – Dangerous road conditions caused by the presence of potholes and improper drainage to the lack of appropriate signage, lights and guardrails can create unsafe driving conditions that could cause an accident on 495 (DC beltway).
- Other Parties – Another party, such as another negligent driver, may be responsible for the accident.
