Don’t Get Overwhelmed By Sophisticated Truck Companies And Their Profit-Driven Insurance Carriers

Truck companies carry substantial insurance policies, which means they often employ aggressive defense tactics. Those in passenger vehicles may end up victims with life-altering injuries if they survive. Sadly, fatalities are all too common. Thousands of people die in truck accidents every year, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Truck companies often have million-dollar insurance policies, which means they have a substantial amount of money to protect.

Why Trucking Accident Cases Are So Much More Challenging

Truck accidents are different from other types of car accident cases. They usually involve large commercial policies from sophisticated companies that mount a challenging defense. They’re much more complex. Multiple parties may be at fault, including:

• The truck driver;
• The driver’s employer;
• The dispatcher;
• The shipper;
• The truck mechanic or maintenance company; and
• The truck or parts manufacturer.

Determining who is at fault requires a thorough investigation to identify all relevant business entities. Also, it is often necessary to dig deep to get to the root cause of the accident, which might include:

• Driver fatigue;
• Intoxicated driving;
• Negligent hiring practices on the part of the trucking company;
• Pressure to falsify logbooks and drive longer hours than allowed under federal law;
• Driver distraction; and
• Unbalanced loads.
