Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?

Truck accidents injure thousands of people every year, sometimes resulting in long-term medical complications. The people most injured in truck accidents are often the drivers and occupants of smaller vehicles involved, such as common passenger vehicles. The injuries that people can sustain in truck accidents can result in significant medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or loss of quality of life. In addition, a truck accident can result in thousands of dollars in property damage as well. Fortunately for people who have been injured by tractor-trailer accidents, they may be able to recover compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. The personal injury lawyers of Shane Smith Law can evaluate your case and determine whether you have a claim, and also hold those responsible for your injuries accountable.The trucking industry involves many different parties, many of whom could be held liable in the event of an accident.
