Who is Liable After a Delivery Truck Accident?

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an accident with a delivery truck in Orange County, identifying the liable parties is of critical importance. With the help of a skilled, experienced Santa Ana truck accident lawyer, the liable party or parties can be identified, and a claim or lawsuit filed to pursue compensation for all damages. The evidence to support a claim will be gathered and preserved as early as possible, and eyewitnesses interviewed before their memories fade. At HN Injury Lawyers, we take on delivery truck accidents with a relentless determination to achieve justice and the maximum in compensatory damages. The liable parties could include:

  • The delivery truck driver: If the driver is not an official employee of the company, but a private independent contractor, a claim can be filed against the driver’s vehicle insurance.
  • The delivery truck company: If the driver is an employee of the company, or is using the company app to deliver goods, the company may be held liable for the negligent driving conduct that led to an injury accident.
  • A third party: In some cases, the accident occurs due to a vehicle system failure. In these cases, the manufacturer of the vehicle, a parts manufacturer, or the truck maintenance firm could be the liable party.
