A truck accident isn't always as simple as determining who was driving.
Commercial trucks are subject to federal and state regulations, and a crash may involve the driver, trucking company, vehicle owner, maintenance providers, cargo loaders, and multiple insurance policies.

After a truck accident, the trucking company and its insurance carrier may quickly start protecting their interests. We investigate who was responsible and why the crash happened.

Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties may include:

  • Truck Driver: Negligent driving, fatigue, distraction, impairment, or violations
  • Trucking Company: Negligent hiring, training, supervision, or unsafe practices
  • Maintenance Company: Failure to properly inspect or maintain the truck
  • Cargo Loader: Improperly loaded or secured cargo
  • Vehicle or Parts Manufacturer: Defective equipment or components
  • Other Parties: Anyone whose negligence contributed to the crash

Determining liability requires evidence. At Thiessen Law Firm, we investigate the accident, preserve evidence, and build your case while the evidence is available. They have a team protecting their interests. You should have one protecting yours. Don't wait, schedule your free consultation with Thiessen Law Firm today.
