Liability can lie with the truck driver, the trucking company, maintenance providers, or cargo loaders. In some cases, multiple parties share responsibility, which can affect liability and damages.
California uses comparative negligence, meaning damages may be reduced if you are partly at fault. If you were partly responsible, an experienced attorney helps preserve your right to compensation and helps maximize recovery.
Fault is determined through evidence like driver logs, maintenance records, dashcam footage, and eyewitness statements. Investigations by authorities and insurers help establish who was responsible and to what degree.
Trucking companies may be liable for actions of their drivers, maintenance contractors, and load securement. We review fleet policies, driver training, and maintenance history to identify all possible sources of liability.
