How Can an Attorney Help After a Delivery Truck Accident?
Even when a delivery truck accident seems very straightforward, countless factors can complicate a claim. Some truck accident claims involve multiple defendants, and a defendant may attempt to counter a lawsuit by deflecting blame at the plaintiff. An attorney can help a client build a strong case, correspond with insurers on the client’s behalf, and help manage personal affairs during the course of a lawsuit.

Some individuals with grounds for delivery truck accident claims may hesitate to contact attorneys when they need them; legal representation is sometimes expensive, and a delivery truck driver may have the backing of a large delivery company on his or her side. The Fine Law Firm offers contingency fee billing precisely for this reason; since we take our legal fees from a client’s case settlement, a potential client can secure representation from our firm with virtually no up-front cost and no risk of absorbing legal fees.

Determining Liability for a Delivery Truck Accident
The first step in securing compensation for damages resulting from a delivery truck accident is determining the party or parties liable for the accident. In a delivery truck accident claim, one or more defendants could be responsible.

A truck driver may face liability if he or she engaged in any illegal activity or acted outside of his or her job duties in a manner that causes an accident. Truck drivers may also face liability for errors such as improper vehicle maneuvers, speeding, DUI, or falling asleep behind the wheel.
A trucking company could bear liability if an investigation shows they failed to properly vet, train, or equip the driver involved in a delivery truck accident.
Maintenance personnel could face liability if they performed subpar or negligent maintenance on a delivery truck that causes an accident. A trucking company could face liability as well if the case reveals they failed to uphold a clear and responsible vehicle maintenance schedule.
A third party who causes an accident with a delivery truck and the plaintiff’s vehicle will likely bear liability for such an accident.
If a defective vehicle or vehicle part is responsible for a delivery truck accident, the manufacturer will face liability under product liability laws.
If poorly maintained roads lead to a delivery truck accident, the plaintiff would have grounds for a claim against the government entity responsible for the maintenance of the area of road in question. However, pursuing a civil claim against any government agency typically requires meeting a much shorter statute of limitations and more restrictive compensation allowances under some states’ laws.
