When seeking compensation for an accident involving a big rig, numerous parties can be held accountable. More often than not the truck driver and/or the trucking company who employs the driver are held accountable, but the owner of the trailer, the shipper, the manufacturer of one of the vehicles involved in the accident, or the owner of any public or private property whose negligence contributed to the accident can also be held responsible. Never assume a tractor trailer accident was just an accident; there are many reasons, including negligence on behalf of the driver or trucking company, that could have been the real cause of your accident.

Negligent or careless acts and complete disregard for regulations set for trucking companies and truck drivers are often the cause of many truck accidents. Drivers working long shifts, beyond what legal limits restrict them to, distractions such as cell phones, radios, iPods, and CD players, speeding, tailgating, failure to reduce speed appropriately around turns and on downhill slopes, and the use of illegal drugs, prescription medication, or alcohol, are all contributing factors to negligence on the part of the truck driver and the trucking company. If any of these factors contributed to your 18 wheeler accident, the driver and/or the trucking company can be held liable for damages.

Don’t let trucking companies push you around anymore than they already have; an attorney can help you receive the full amount of compensation deserved for your injuries, loss, and traumatic experience. Never agree to any offer made by the trucking company or their insurance adjusters without first consulting legal aid.
