Bellevue Truck Accident Lawyer

When an 80,000-pound commercial truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are often catastrophic. The sheer force of these accidents can cause life-altering injuries. While you are trying to recover, you are also forced to deal with aggressive insurance adjusters, complex federal trucking regulations, and powerful trucking companies.

Multiple Liable Parties in Commercial Truck Accidents

Truck accident claims are often more complex than typical car accidents because multiple parties may share liability for the crash. The truck driver might be responsible for speeding, distracted driving, or violating hours-of-service regulations, but their employer—the trucking company—could also be liable for inadequate training, poor maintenance practices, or pressuring drivers to meet unrealistic deadlines. The company that loaded the cargo might bear responsibility if improper loading or securing contributed to the accident.

Additionally, the truck’s manufacturer or parts suppliers could be liable if mechanical failures caused by defective components led to the crash. Maintenance companies that service the truck might share responsibility if their negligent repairs contributed to the accident. Even government entities could be liable if poor road design or maintenance played a role.
