Who Can Be Held Liable for a Truck Accident in Lubbock County, TX?
A truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo-loading company, or vehicle manufacturer may be held liable for a truck accident in Lubbock County. Who is responsible depends on what caused the collision and whether negligence or another legal basis for liability can be established.
To determine who may be responsible, evidence such as crash reports, photographs, video footage, vehicle damage, and maintenance records can help explain what happened. Employment records may also show whether a trucking company shares responsibility for a driver’s actions.
Once the responsible parties are identified, insurance coverage may be available through a driver’s personal auto policy or a commercial trucking policy. However, having insurance does not automatically mean an insurer must pay, and disputes over coverage may arise.
Depending on your injuries and financial losses, you may recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Even injuries initially described as minor can require further treatment or affect your ability to work.
If multiple parties share responsibility for the crash, Texas law allows fault to be divided among them. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, and you cannot recover damages if you are more than 50 percent responsible.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, although exceptions may apply. Missing the applicable deadline could prevent you from pursuing compensation through the courts.
When fault is disputed, a truck accident lawyer can review the evidence and help identify the responsible parties. An attorney can also communicate with insurance companies and handle disputes that may delay your claim.
