Proving Liability After a Broussard 18-Wheeler Accident

In many truck accident cases, there are multiple parties who are responsible for the victim’s damages. We must prove that another party was liable for causing the accident for you to seek compensation for your damages. 

Some parties who could be found liable in 18-wheeler accident cases include:

  • The trucking company
  • The owner of the 18-wheeler
  • The truck driver
  • Other motorists
  • Safety inspectors
  • Truck parts designers
  • 18-wheeler dealerships
  • Maintenance technicians
  • Cargo loaders

To prove another party was liable for the accident, we can establish negligence. We can establish negligence by proving: 

  • The other party had a duty of care to prevent you from harm on the road
  • They did not uphold this duty of care because they acted in a negligent manner 
  • Their negligence was the cause of the accident and the injuries you sustained 
  • The accident and your injuries caused you to suffer damages

Once we have identified the liable party or parties, we can help you seek compensation for your losses.

They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
