Third-Party Liability: What to Know
Accidents that involve commercial vehicles often have complicated issues regarding liability. Often, there are three or more parties that may be liable for the incident. These parties could include:
Trucking companies
Truck drivers
Truck manufacturers
Cargo loaders
Cargo manufacturers
Maintenance companies
Determining liability requires intensive research and dedication. Having handled numerous cases that involved complex third-party liability issues, I know how to address these cases. I will use all the tools available, including expert witnesses, accident reconstruction and security footage, to determine the at-fault parties in your case.
Don’t Talk to Insurers—talk to A Lawyer
Before you talk to a representative from the trucking company or the insurance company, talk to a lawyer. Why? Because trucking companies and their insurers will do everything possible to avoid paying a claim, even when they are at fault. They send investigators to the site immediately to collect information that may hurt your case. They will try to minimize their own accountability and put the blame on you.
