Causes of Truck Accidents in Whitesboro

Determining the exact cause of a truck accident often requires a detailed investigation. Our lawyers will go to great lengths to figure out how exactly the accident occurred so that we can hold the right people accountable for your damages. Common explanations for truck accidents include:

• The truck driver was distracted.
• The truck driver failed to check their blind spots before merging.
• The truck suffered a mechanical failure that caused the truck driver to lose control of the vehicle.
• The truck driver was fatigued behind the wheel.
• The truck driver was intoxicated.
• The truck's cargo was improperly secured.

Our attorneys have experience investigating truck accidents and looking for evidence to support injury claims. We can help uncover highly technical kinds of evidence, like a truck's event data recorder showing its steering inputs before the crash.

Can a Truck Driver's Employer Be Held at Fault for a Wreck?

In many truck accidents, the truck driver will be the one responsible for compensating you after the wreck. However, their coverage alone may not be enough to pay for all of your damages. In situations like these, it is prudent to make sure you have identified all of the liable parties so that you can get the most out of your claim.

The truck driver's employer could be held at fault for the truck driver's actions under a legal principle known as vicarious liability. The truck driver's employer can be held vicariously liable as long as the driver was performing their assigned role during work hours.

The employer could also be named at fault for acts of negligence in hiring or training new drivers. Trucking companies have a responsibility to make sure that their drivers are qualified and fit for the role, and if they fail to live up to that responsibility, they could be made to pay for their negligence.
