Who Is Liable For My Ontario Truck Accident Injuries?
The party or parties at fault for the accident that caused your injuries should be liable for damages.
California follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that even if you are partially at fault in the accident, you may still be able to recover damages from the other at-fault parties.
Multiple parties could be at fault in a commercial truck accident and liable for your injuries. Some potentially liable parties could include:
- The truck driver could be at fault if they acted negligently or recklessly.
- The trucking company may be at fault if it has not adequately maintained the truck, is negligent in hiring and monitoring its drivers, or does not abide by the state and federal trucking industry regulations and related laws.
- The truck or trailer parts and equipment manufacturer could be at fault for dangerous or defective products if they contributed to the accident.
- The cargo loading entity could be liable if it did not place and secure the cargo correctly or overloaded the truck.
- A trucking maintenance or mechanic company could be liable if their negligence contributed to the cause of an accident.
- A government entity could be liable for a dangerous or defective road condition or design.
- Other motorists could be liable for causing the accident.
These are some of the most common potentially liable parties in a truck accident. However, each accident is unique and should be thoroughly investigated by an experienced Ontario truck accident lawyer to determine its cause and all potentially liable parties.
