People often think that, in a commercial trucking accident, the truck driver must be at fault, which isn’t always true.
Commercial trucking crashes happen more often than people realize. Accidents involving these enormous transportation vehicles usually result in destruction and upheaval, leaving their victims with comparatively enormous hospital bills and a life that has been turned upside-down.
There are many different factors that can play a role in a commercial trucking accident. The owner of the truck, vehicle or parts designer or manufacturer, cargo loading company, maintenance contractor, government agency, or even the trucking company itself might be liable for a commercial trucking accident.
