Catastrophic Truck Accident Liability

There can be a lot of questions when it comes to determining negligence in a truck accident.

When it comes to commercial truck driving, there are several additional regulations involved to help keep the driver and others safe on the road. And most truck drivers are actively aware of the responsibility that comes with driving something as large as a semi-truck, and they will do their best to follow the right safety procedures. However, when there is a lapse in judgment, then that could be enough to lead to a catastrophic accident. But there can be a lot of questions when it comes to determining negligence in a truck accident.

Driver Negligence

When it comes to a catastrophic truck accident, the priority is proving that the accident was caused by negligence. The truck driver could have acted negligently in a variety of ways, from texting while driving to road rage and even drinking. Something as simple as driving while tired, a common risk for truck drivers, could qualify as negligence.

Evidence

Determining negligent behavior in a truck accident can be tricky, which is why you need all the evidence you can get. A police report is a key piece of the puzzle in proving who is at fault. However, you can also record as much as you can at the accident itself by taking pictures and making a note of the weather and road conditions. If you are unable to do this, then try to get in touch with other witnesses who were there when the accident occurred.

Proving Fault

It can be challenging to determine and prove who is at fault in an accident. Because of the contributory negligence laws in Maryland, the truck driver or truck company will do whatever they can to shift the blame or claim that you were partially at fault. A lack of evidence can make a case especially challenging. However, with the right personal injury lawyer, you can make sure that your perspective is heard so you can get justice and compensation for your injuries.
