Determining the cause of a truck accident in Florida can be extremely complicated. That’s because injury victims don’t just have to worry about the truck driver who caused the accident afterward. Injury victims also have to deal with the company that owns the truck and trailer. In addition to possibly leading to severe personal injury, truck accidents often raise question after question about the standards and practices set forth by trucking companies.
Trucking accidents can be complicated because they often involve multiple layers of liability, from the truck driver to his or her company, to the company that may have loaded the trailer. There may even by a driver of another vehicle on the road who may be liable. In some cases, a victim may need to name multiple parties in a trucking accident lawsuit.
