Finding the Responsible Parties for Your Truck Accident
Before we can pursue the fair compensation you deserve for your injuries, we must identify the responsible parties. In a truck accident, there may be more than one group that bears financial liability for your losses. Our investigative tactics can identify everyone who is potentially liable. From there, we can work to gather the evidence we need to prove fault.
The Truck Driver
We can rigorously investigate the other motorist’s actions leading up to your accident. If they violated a traffic law or exhibited reckless behavior, we can collect evidence to hold them accountable. Likewise, if they broke any trucking industry regulations, such as driving for too long without rest or failing to service their truck at regular intervals, we can use this to hold them liable.
The Trucking Company
A Fordoche truck accident lawyer may be able to pursue the trucking company that employs the driver for vicarious liability, especially if the driver was acting within the scope and duty of their job when the accident occurred.
The Truck Manufacturer
If the truck had a defective component that caused or contributed to the crash, such as faulty brakes or a loose trailer hitch, we may be able to pursue damages from the truck manufacturer.
Other Liable Parties
The above list of potentially liable parties is not exhaustive. Depending on the unique circumstances of your case, any number of parties may be responsible, possibly including ones you may not have considered.

Your Fordoche Truck Accident Compensation
After identifying all potentially liable parties for your truck accident, we can get to work pursuing financial recovery on your behalf. We can pursue both economic and noneconomic damages.
Your settlement or award may include compensation for the following:
- Medical bills. We can fight for the value of your medical bills, not just those you have already incurred, but also those that you may encounter in the future. This category also covers any assistive equipment you may need, such as a wheelchair or crutches.
- Lost wages. We can help you recover compensation to make up for the income you have lost while recovering from your injury. We can calculate the value of this category by analyzing your pay stubs and other documentation.
- Reduced earning capacity. We can even help you receive a monetary award to make up the difference between how much you are able to make post-injury, and the amount you might have been capable of earning had the accident never occurred.
- Emotional trauma. We can pursue damages for noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering and inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, and psychological distress. These are “general damages,” meaning that they do not hold a tangible value. The award you may receive for these losses typically correlates with the extent of your physical injuries.
This is not an exhaustive list when evaluating your potential for compensation. Working with a Fordoche truck accident lawyer can help you determine what other damages may apply to your case.
