Can the Trucking Company Be Held Liable, Even If the Driver Caused the Crash?
When your life is shattered by a truck accident, it’s easy to focus all the blame on the driver behind the wheel. However, the truth can be much worse: that driver could have been pushed to the brink by a company that never cared if someone got hurt, so long as deliveries kept rolling in.
You could hold the trucking company liable if they:
- Failed to properly train or supervise the driver
- Encouraged or allowed the driver to exceed legal hours-of-service limits
- Did not perform required safety inspections or maintenance
- Hired a driver with a known history of reckless behavior
- Created unrealistic delivery schedules that pushed the driver to speed or skip rest breaks
You shouldn’t have to suffer because a company chose profit over people. Robert Law Group can hold trucking companies accountable for the damage they cause. Your life, safety, and future should never be treated as expendable.
Who Pays If Multiple Parties Contributed to the Accident?
Truck accidents are rarely simple, but you’re the one who has to live with the consequences. Maybe you’re fighting to walk again. Perhaps you’re waking up every day without the person you loved most. Through all that pain, you need to know who can be held accountable for stealing the life you knew. Multiple parties may be held liable in a truck accident, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- A maintenance or repair provider
- The company that loaded the cargo
- A vehicle or parts manufacturer
- Government entities (for unsafe roads or poor signage)
You deserve answers, not finger-pointing. At Robert Law Group, we work hard to uncover every possible party who had a role in your accident, and we don’t rest until they’re held accountable.
Can I Still Recover Damages If I Was Partially at Fault in the Accident?
You might blame yourself for the accident. When others start accusing you, that pain can make you feel small, broken, and alone. However, under Utah’s modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages if:
- You were less than 50% responsible for the crash.
- Your compensation is adjusted based on your percentage of fault.
- Other parties still carry a greater share of legal blame.
Robert Law Group can stand with people who’ve been shaken, blamed, and broken. We fight to make sure one mistake doesn’t define your future.
