Who Is At Fault in a Truck-Car Accident

A truck-car collision can be extremely dangerous with severe consequences for the car passengers. There is a huge weight difference between the massive 18 wheeler trucks and small cars. That is why in such accidents, the car passenger’s chances of survival are almost zero. Even if the car passenger does survive, he/she will receive severe injuries. That individual may be entitled to an injury compensation claim.
 
The most important factor when filing a compensation claim is to figure out who is to be held responsible for the injuries you or your loved one has suffered. Trucking accidents are, in a lot of ways, different than the other types of accidents. For example, unlike a regular car accident (accident involving two cars) there are a number of parties involved in the truck accidents. Apart from the drivers of both the vehicles, other parties such as the truck owner, truck manufacturer, or the trucking company may also be involved.

Another factor that sets these accidents apart from the others is the regulations that commercial motor vehicles are governed by. Both state and federal government imposes strict regulations on commercial vehicles. In order to determine liability in a truck accident, parties will need to be aware of all these applicable regulations and also be able to determine if any of these regulations were not followed.

Since truck accidents involve numerous rules and regulations and different states have different laws regarding the matter, it is important to contact a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible. As far as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSA states, one of the common factors that cause truck accidents is driver fatigue and drug/alcohol use. Because of that, in some states, truck drivers need to drive slower than others. But how is it determined whether or not the driver was driving at the right speed or was under the influence? A competent truck accident lawyer will know all the right questions to ask when determining the fault.

What should you do after you have been involved in such an accident? The combination of the various laws and regulations and the number of potential claims (who you will sue and under what legal theory) all make the trucking accidents extremely complex. That is why they need to be handled with expertise that only an experienced lawyer can provide you. Texas 18 wheeler accident attorneys will be able to help you with making truck accident claims in Texas. It would be wise to consult one as soon as you can.
