Who is responsible when you suffer injuries in a truck accident?

The following are individuals who may be responsible for your injury:

• The driver: Often times it is the driver who is responsible for causing injury. The driver may be responsible if he or she was intoxicated in any way while operating the vehicle. Drugs and alcohol can cause a serious Georgia trucker accident. Also, if he or she is fatigued, speeding, or driving recklessly, then they are directly responsible for the accident. A skilled lawyer can hire an investigator to analyze the circumstances of the accident and also examine the driver's log to determine if the truck operator was over his or her limit of driving hours.

• The trucking company: In some instances, it is the trucking company and not the driver who is responsible for causing an accident. If an employer failed to properly train a driver, or hired a driver who was under age or in the country illegally, the company may be responsible. Additionally, if a company fails to properly maintain their fleet, they may also be liable for any damages done to you.

• The truck manufacturer: In the event that you sustain an injury due to the mechanical failure of a truck, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the vehicle. A trucker accident in Georgia can be caused by a defective brake, tire, or hitching system.
