Personal Injury

One of the main reasons that truck accidents are so much more complicated is because any resulting lawsuit won’t be just between the two drivers. A large group of people are responsible for the operation of a semi truck, from the driver to whoever loaded the cargo bay. If you’ve been in an accident with a semi truck and decide to pursue legal action, you might have to deal with any or all of the following people:

• The owner of the truck
• The owner of the trailer
• The driver of the truck
• Any lessees of the truck or trailer
• The manufacturer of the truck, trailer, tires, and other components
• The company or employees responsible for loading the cargo bay

In order to know who you’re up against, you also need to know the actual cause of the accident. If the driver fell asleep at the wheel, that’s more straightforward than an accident caused by an improperly loaded cargo bay. When you work with a trucking accident lawyer such as Kenneth P. Hicks, you’ll have the resources and expertise you need to get the compensation you deserve.
