Who May Be Sued in a Truck Accident?
Truck accidents often involve multiple vehicles. Your attorney should be experienced in complex litigation involving multiple parties and the insurance issues that often arise. If the truck driver was at fault, you may sue the driver personally and usually the trucker’s employer. The owners of the tractor-trailer cab, the trailer, and the freight may all be liable in part, as well as the truck’s manufacturer or a third-party maintenance company. If a third driver caused the accident, you may sue for damages under their auto liability policy.
