Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Truck Accident?

Determining liability for a truck accident can be challenging. All too often, we discover that these incidents are caused by the careless or negligent actions of the truck driver or trucking company.

Truck drivers can be held liable if they:

• Operate these vehicles too fast for conditions
• Drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Operate while distracted by phones or other devices
• Fail to properly inspect the truck before each trip
• Allow the truck to be overloaded or improperly loaded
• Do not abide by the federal hours of service requirements
• Disregard traffic safety laws

Trucking carriers can often hold direct responsibility for crashes as well. Some of the main ways that truck carriers could be held liable include the following:

• Failing to regularly inspect and maintain each vehicle
• Encouraging the overloading of cargo
• Encouraging drivers to disregard hours of safety requirements
• Failing to ensure that drivers are properly trained and licensed

Data provided by the Arizona Department of Transportation indicates that there were thousands of accidents involving larger commercial trucks across the state during the latest reporting year. Unfortunately, these incidents regularly resulted in significant injuries for those involved, and even multiple fatalities.
