Who Can Be Held at Fault in a Trucking Accident?

After a truck accident, you can obtain compensation for your injuries through the truck driver's insurance policy. Of course, there is no guarantee that the policy will cover all of your damages. Our attorneys can help you identify other liable parties who may be held responsible for the accident, providing you with additional sources of compensation.

In Virginia, employers can be held responsible for damages caused by their employees according to a legal principle known as respondeat superior. According to this principle, the trucking company can be named at fault for the accident as long as the truck driver was acting within the scope of his or her employment. You could also argue that the company's practices, such as poor training, contributed to the accident, which would make them liable.

You can also get compensation from liable third parties. For instance, if the truck broke down on the road due to improper maintenance, the company responsible for repairs could be found to be at fault. Liability can even extend to a state or local government if the crash was partially caused by poor maintenance of the road.

A truck accident should not leave you financially destitute. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we will identify all avenues of compensation to get the most out of your claim.

Catastrophic Injuries in Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can incur devastating catastrophic injuries, possibly restricting your employment opportunities or your ability to enjoy life. Many truck accident victims have been known to suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) from the sudden jolt of a crash. A TBI can affect your memory, your mood, and your problem-solving ability.

A truck accident also carries the risk of a spinal cord injury, especially in perilous rollover accidents. Since the spinal cord is responsible for muscle movement, any damage carries the risk of partial or full paralysis. If your life has been dramatically changed by a truck accident injury, our attorneys will fight for a solution that addresses your long-term needs.

Evidence in a Truck Accident Claim

After a truck accident, you should get in contact with an attorney as soon as possible. The company behind the crash may attempt to cover up valuable evidence such as a trucker's logbook hours, the truck's black box data, maintenance records, and more. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we can force the trucking company to turn over this evidence before it ends up lost or deleted.

We can also visit the site of the collision to get photographs of the truck and any other physical evidence that would help us reconstruct the crash. Eyewitness statements can also lend credibility to your claim, and a written police report can help determine who was at fault.
