Who Is Liable For My Ontario Truck Accident Injuries?
The party or parties at fault for the accident that caused your injuries may 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 other at-fault parties, subject to adjustment based on your share of responsibility.
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, if they acted negligently or recklessly
- The trucking company, if it failed to maintain the truck, was negligent in hiring or monitoring drivers, or did not comply with state and federal trucking industry regulations and related laws.
- The truck or trailer parts manufacturer, if defective equipment contributed to the accident.
- The cargo loading entity, if cargo was not properly secured or the truck was overloaded
- A trucking maintenance or mechanic company, if negligent service contributed to the accident
- A government entity, if a dangerous or defective road condition contributed to the accident
- Other motorists, if they contributed to the collision
These are some of the most common potentially liable parties in a truck accident. However, each accident is unique and may require thorough investigation to determine its cause and all potentially liable parties.
