Who Is Liable for a Truck Accident? 

Liability in a truck accident claim can extend to numerous parties. Negligent truck drivers, trucking companies, and manufacturers can all cause significant harm to other motorists on the road. To determine liability, your attorney will evaluate the specific circumstances of the accident. Depending on the cause, various parties may be liable for injuries, including: 

  • Negligence: If the crash was caused by poor maintenance or careless operation, you may be able to sue the negligent truck driver, the trucking company, dram shops, social hosts, or other third parties. 
  • Vehicle defects: If the collision was caused by a defect in the truck, such as a faulty part or malfunctioning machinery, you may be able to sue safety inspectors, maintenance technicians, the owner of the eighteen-wheeler, the trucking company, auto parts designers, or manufacturers. 
  • Hazardous conditions: If dangerous road conditions contributed to the truck accident, you may be able to sue the City of Odessa, the Texas Department of Transportation, local government authorities, construction workers, contractors and subcontractors, safety inspectors, or other parties.
