Truck accidents happen for a number of reasons, including overloading, fatigued drivers, lack of maintenance or defective parts. Due to the size and weight of trucks, accidents involving them often lead to serious injury and death. In addition to the driver being liable for the injuries you sustain, liability may also fall on the owner of the truck, the manufacturer of the truck parts, the company responsible for maintenance of the truck or the driver’s employer.
