Suffolk Truck Accident Lawyers
Suffolk Truck Accident Attorneys
Understanding how a truck accident occurs is a vital part of investigating an injury claim. It can also help you demonstrate liability, which can also assist your Suffolk truck accident attorneys in determining the at-fault parties. In many cases, more than one defendant is appropriate in a lawsuit. A successful investigation could uncover all of them.
Common causes include:
-
Intoxicated truck operators
-
Truck drivers in too much of a hurry to get to their destination
-
Fatigued truck operators
-
Negligent or aggressive driving
-
Overloaded commercial trucks
-
Negligent truck maintenance
-
Poor road conditions
-
Mechanical defects
Any of these factors could lead to a crash. When these factors combine, the result is often more severe.
Potential defendants
Once you have determined the cause, you can consider the appropriate defendants in a lawsuit. Many of these cases involve suing the operator of the truck. After all, driver negligence is a common factor.
You might also be able to pursue legal action against their employer. If the driver were operating within the scope of their employment, their company could face liability as well. You could also sue the trucking company if they were negligent in hiring the driver or maintaining the condition of the vehicle.
When truck parts are defective, they could also cause a wreck. Failures in the braking system, steering wheel, headlights, or transmission routinely lead to accidents. When this happens, you could bring a civil suit against the manufacturer.
Finally, it may be possible to sue local or state government entities. If the accident occurred due to poor road conditions, you might be able to seek legal action against the government entity responsible for that stretch of road.

Trucking plays an important role in U.S. commerce, but a serious truck accident can leave an individual and their family to deal with the life-altering impact for years to come.
