Have You Been Involved in a Truck Accident in Amarillo?

Being involved in a truck accident can be overwhelming and upsetting. If you or a loved one suffered severe injuries in a truck accident, seek medical attention immediately, regardless of the extent of your injuries. Even if your injuries are mild, you will need medical documentation to file legal action. In addition, our firm can gather and preserve all the necessary evidence to prepare your case, along with the assistance of professional resources, such as medical, financial, and accident reconstruction experts.

Determining the Cause of the Accident

Several different factors can cause truck accidents. As trucks require significantly more time to stop than other vehicles, it is even more important for truck drivers to be alert at all times. The cause of the accident will be an essential part of your case and will help determine who is legally liable. Common causes include:

  • Fatigue
  • Reckless driving
  • Substance abuse
  • Improper cargo loading
  • Poor vehicle maintenance
  • Bad weather
  • Inadequate inspections
  • Lack of driver training 

Who is Legally Liable in a Truck Accident Injury Case?

Determining legal liability in a truck accident may be far more complicated than in other motor vehicle accidents. The accident may have multiple causes, and determining who is legally liable is more challenging. For instance, if the driver was speeding or ignoring traffic regulations, the driver is likely to be liable. However, the company may be at fault if the trucking company violated a state law requiring the driver regarding hours of service regulations. If the cargo was loaded improperly, the cargo company may be liable. If a truck safety system fails, a truck manufacturer or parts manufacturer may be a liable party.
