What to Do After a Truck Accident

When speaking with the police, other drivers, and insurance adjusters after a truck accident, it's important to be careful what you say in case it's used against you later. Avoid admitting fault, even if you think the accident was your fault. If your insurance adjuster asks for a recorded or written statement, decline until you have spoken with an attorney.

Why Do Truck Accidents Happen?

Unlike passenger cars, large trucks have different braking systems, slower stopping distances, and require extensive driver training. When trucking companies and drivers fail to follow safety regulations, the results can be devastating. The most common causes of big rig accidents include the following:

Drowsy or inattentive truck drivers—long hours on the road lead to fatigue.
Drunk or drugged driving—some truckers rely on stimulants to stay awake, leading to impaired judgment.
Distracted driving—texting, using GPS, or other distractions cause delayed reactions.
Poor truck maintenance—brake failures and engine problems increase accident risks.
Improper cargo loading—unsecured or imbalanced loads can cause rollovers.
Defective truck parts—faulty brakes, tires, or steering components may fail unexpectedly.

Who Is Responsible for a Truck Accident?

Trucking companies must follow strict federal regulations to ensure the safety of all road users. They are responsible for the following:

Hiring qualified drivers
Enforcing rest breaks to prevent fatigue
Properly maintaining vehicles
Ensuring cargo is safely loaded

When companies cut corners to maximize profits, innocent drivers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians pay the price. Breaking federal safety laws or failing to maintain safe driving conditions can result in deadly collisions and serious legal consequences for the trucking company.

Who Is Liable in Truck Accident Claim?

To pursue financial recovery for a truck or tractor-trailer accident in Connecticut, you will need to figure out who is liable or legally responsible for causing the crash. This party will become the defendant in your personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit.

The defendant can be a number of different parties. A single claim can also have more than one defendant, which may include any of the following:

The trucking company
A third-party driver
The truck driver
The owner of the commercial truck
The city in charge of roadway maintenance
The cargo loading team
A product manufacturer

We Uncover the Truth Behind the Crash

The trucking company is usually vicariously liable for the actions of its truck drivers, including negligence and recklessness.

The company is also accountable if it made a mistake that contributed to the crash, such as hiring a driver with a history of drunk driving. Naming the right defendant is one of the first steps you will need to complete the road to recovery, and we can take care of this for you.

The legal team at Goff Law Group can hire investigators to help you get to the bottom of how and why your accident occurred and which party/parties might be liable. Focus on getting your life back to normal, and trust us to handle the following:

Investigating every aspect of the accident
Preparing the best case for your insurance claims
