Upper Darby Truck Accident Attorney

Truck accident claims can be quite complex. Multiple parties could be liable, and multiple insurance policies could come into play. These companies have extensive resources at their disposal, and they are not always interested in offering a fair payout. These companies know how intimidating it can be for victims to deal with these situations, let alone prove liability.

Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC is here to protect you from these companies who do not have your best interest at heart. Our attorneys use their experience, knowledge, and resources to get to the bottom of the crash and identify any and all liable parties. Some of the parties responsible for your crash could include:

• Truck Drivers: Drivers may have been driving too fast to stop in time, or they should have been intoxicated or distracted. Whatever law they broke or regulation they disobeyed could have been the direct cause of your accident.
• The Driver’s Employer: The employer of the truck operator could be liable for multiple reasons. Employers could be liable for the actions of their employees through a legal concept called “respondeat superior.” Employers could also be liable because they were somehow negligent. For example, they may have hired the driver knowing they had a history of intoxicated driving, or they could have unsafe cargo loading practices. The company could have violated federal regulations by pushing the driver to drive without federally mandated rest periods.
• Vehicle Owners: Trucking companies do not always own semi-trucks. If this entity failed to maintain the vehicle and caused the crash, this could make them liable for the accident.

This is not an extensive list of entities that could be liable for your accident. Let an Upper Darby truck accident attorney with our team figure out which parties we can take action against.
