Who Is Liable for Your Duson Semi-Truck Accident?

Although truck drivers are often at fault in 18-wheeler crashes, such accidents are often complicated. For example, if the driver of a passenger vehicle is distracted and hits a semi-truck from behind, they could be held liable for the accident, even if their injuries are more severe.

Liable parties in a Duson 18-wheeler accident may include:

  • An 18-wheeler operator
  • An 18-wheeler owner or employer
  • The company responsible for 18-wheeler maintenance and repairs
  • The company responsible for loading and balancing the trailer
  • The driver of another vehicle
  • A construction or utility company responsible for blocked or impassable roadways

In some cases, a semi-truck accident may have multiple at-fault parties. We will not hesitate to pursue claims with the insurance companies for all responsible parties to secure fair compensation for your 18-wheeler accident.

Causes of 18-Wheeler Accidents in Duson, LA

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), large truck accidents can occur due to:

  • Fatigued driving, especially when drivers violate Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration service hour regulations
  • Poorly maintained truck braking systems
  • Defective truck equipment
  • Insufficient truck driver training or licensing

Other causes may include distracted driving, aggressive driving, speeding, and driving while intoxicated (DWI). Depending on the facts of your accident, our 18-wheeler accident lawyers in Duson, LA will seek compensation commensurate with the losses you sustained.
