Collisions with delivery trucks can result in disabling injuries. These trucks are substantially heavier than the typical passenger vehicle, so accidents tend to be more severe. If you’re suffering from a catastrophic injury after a collision with a delivery truck, you deserve compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and your pain and suffering.

We understand the difficulties accident victims experience after traumatic accidents, so we want to do everything we can to improve your situation. Our team can help you hold the delivery truck driver or company that caused your accident accountable.

Liable Parties in a Delivery Truck Accident in Dallas
After a delivery truck accident, liability could fall on several people or entities. Our delivery truck accident attorneys in Dallas can determine the cause of the accident, so we can identify the liable party. Once we identify the liable party, we can file a case against them.
The Truck Driver
You could file a claim against the truck driver if their negligence caused the accident. Negligent actions a truck driver could engage in include:
- Distracted driving
- Driving while fatigued
- Reckless driving
- Driving while intoxicated
The Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) sets safety regulations to ensure drivers do not drive more than a certain amount of hours at one point. In addition, they must keep logs that include the hours they have driven. If the driver doesn’t adhere to these rules and regulations, you could file a claim against them.
The Trucking Company
If trucking companies don’t enforce the rules the FMCSA and Texas laws put in place, liability could fall on them. Other reasons you could file a claim against the trucking company or a related third party include the following:
- The cargo loaders improperly loaded the truck
- The trucking company didn’t properly maintain their truck
- The trucking company didn’t provide enough training for their drivers
Our attorneys can help you determine if the trucking company’s actions caused the accident.
