In addition, it’s possible that numerous people contributed to a truck accident. Your failure to include one of these responsible parties could prevent or limit your compensation.

Experienced McKinney Trucking Accident Lawyer

Why are Texas trucking accident claims so complicated? One reason is the number of people potentially involved. Naming the right parties in a claim is essential to making sure you receive all compensation to which you are entitled.

Failure to include a party that contributed to your trucking accident could significantly affect your ability to recover full and fair compensation.

Parties that could have directly or indirectly contributed to your Texas trucking accident include:

• Truck drivers: Trucking accidents are often caused by truck driver negligence, including fatigue, impairment from drugs or alcohol, falling asleep at the wheel and reckless driving.
• Companies that hire truck drivers: Many truck drivers are hired by companies. Those companies may be partially responsible for a trucking accident if they failed to perform a proper background check that would have revealed the truck driver’s propensity to be involved in a trucking accident.
• Truck loaders: In some truck accidents, an improper load balance or load shift can be responsible for an accident or truck rollover.
• Truck rig owners: Truck rig owners can contribute to a trucking accident by failing to properly inspect and maintain the truck rig, including lights, brakes, steering components and other parts that pose a risk to other vehicles on the road.
• Truck trailer owners: Truck trailer owners are often different from rig owners, and they can contribute to a trucking accident by failing to properly inspect and maintain the truck trailer, including lights, brakes and tires as well as other parts for which improper maintenance or failure put people at risk.
