There are times it isn’t easy to prove fault in a truck accident. Just looking at the scene of the accident may give some clues, but not enough clues to determine who is liable for the accident. There are even instances where witness testimonies are not enough in proving which party was negligent and why, giving the defendant’s attorney more to stand on when building a strong defense.
Fortunately, there are ways to prove liability in an accident and use that evidence to help in the recovery of meaningful compensation for the injured. At Brotherly Law, we are able to use our knowledge, experience, and resources to find out who caused the accident and why they caused it. There are also times when we can find multiple liable parties in order to maximize the compensation you need to move forward.
First of all, the person cited for the accident can be held liable. There are many times when the police report states what happened because of clear witness statements and obvious clues at the accident scene. Other times, those elements are not very clear and that requires an investigation by a personal injury attorney. If it can be shown without any doubt that the person named in the lawsuit caused the accident, then the chances of being compensated increased.
The parties that can be held liable in a truck accident include:
At Brotherly Law, our attorneys use vast resources to prove fault in a commercial truck accident. We review the police report, can have the accident scene reconstructed, we look at medical records, car damage, the road conditions of that day, witness statements, get the opinions of expert witnesses, and anything that we need to do to ensure we have all of the necessary evidence to hold the right party monetarily accountable for their actions.
Once we have proven fault, it is common for a settlement to be offered. If the proposed settlement is insufficient, we will continue negotiating on your behalf in order to achieve a dollar amount that is reasonable. If we can’t reach a settlement, then the case can go to trial. Even then, we will continue to aggressively fight for your future.
