Determining Fault after a Truck Accident

The determination of fault is an essential part of any truck accident claim. We will need to find out what caused the collision so we can determine who should be held responsible, and we accomplish this by working with accident reconstruction specialists and other experts who can help us investigate and recreate the scene. When we identify the cause, we can pursue a case against the at-fault party.

The following are examples of potential causes of truck accidents:

  • Distracted truck operator
  • Hours-of-service violation
  • Truck driver under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Texting while driving
  • Unsafe lane change
  • Failure to check blind spots
  • Aggressive or reckless driving
  • Unsafe merging
  • Failure to yield
  • Overloaded truck
  • Improperly balanced or secured cargo
  • Negligent truck maintenance
  • Inexperienced truck operator

Together, we can uncover the cause of your crash so we can pursue the financial compensation you need to move on with your life.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Your Truck Accident in Arizona?

Various parties can be held liable for a truck accident in Arizona. But, potential liable parties often deny fault to evade paying victims the compensation they deserve for their injuries and property losses.

At Maria Jones Law Firm, our Phoenix truck accident claim attorneys have in-depth understanding of commercial trucking operations as well as various parties involved in the sector. Our team of personal injury attorneys knows how to accurately identify persons or entities responsible for an accident.

Some parties that may be held liable for a truck accident in Arizona are as follows:

  • The person driving the truck
  • The person/company that owns the truck
  • Manufacturer of the truck (or its parts)
  • Shipper or loader of the cargo

At Maria Jones Law Firm, our experienced personal injury attorneys with significant experience in handling Phoenix truck accident cases know how to carry out detailed investigations into the causes of truck accidents to identify the potential liable parties. Our goal is to find out what caused the accident that resulted in injuries & property damages and who was legally responsible for the unfortunate event.

Besides investigating the common causes listed in the above section, our team will also gather information on various other aspects of the accident, including but not limited to the following –

  • Who had the custody (and control) of the vehicle when the accident took place
  • Truck driver’s hours log
  • What kind of control the trucking company had over the truck driver
  • Whether any manufacturing defects caused the accident
  • Maintenance record of the truck involved in the accident
  • Whether the cargo was secure enough when the accident occurred
  • Whether the driver had any record of criminal convictions or traffic rule violations in the past

Various parties involved in trucking operations are responsible to varying degrees to ensure the vehicle is safe. Our Phoenix truck accident attorneys meticulously work to ascertain who among these parties breached their duty.

For instance a negligence claim concerning a truck accident in Arizona may be based on –

  • Truck driver’s lack of experience in driving a heavy vehicle
  • Truck driver’s failure to follow the traffic laws

A product liability lawsuit concerning a truck accident in Arizona may be based on –

  • A part of the vehicle was defective; it was ‘unreasonably dangerous’ and resulted in an accident
  • The part was being used in the vehicle as per the manufacturer’s instructions
  • The condition of the part used in the truck didn’t change since the initial purchase of the vehicle from the manufacturer

Contact the Best Truck Accident Claim Attorneys Serving Arizona

Truck accident claims aren’t exactly easy to prove, especially if you have little or no knowledge of personal injury laws applicable in Arizona as well as various other federal laws. Trucking companies often try their level best to distance themselves from truck accidents to evade responsibility. For example, they may just claim that the driver involved in an accident was not an ‘employee,’ but an ‘independent contractor.’ The company may also claim that it does not own the vehicle involved in the accident. They may go to the extent of suggesting that the victim was responsible for the accident. This is why it is important to have an experienced Phoenix truck accident attorney on your side.
