Who can you sue for Damages arising from a truck crash case? Well clearly the driver of the commercial vehicle of the tractor trailer that hit you, we can sue him or her. As you might expect we can also bring suit against the corporation for whome that driver drives, who put him behind the wheel of that eighty thousand pound truck. What car crash lawyers may not know that truck crash lawyers do is that there are a number of other people who may be involved behind the scenes if you will, then just the driver and the drivers employer, the trucking company.

Truck crash lawyers will tell you that many times the load that driver is carrying has been brokered by some third party. In other words, there is another corporation besides the trucker and the trucking company, who's responcible for putting that trucker together with that load that he or she was pulling at the time they crashed with you. Often times that load broker places time constraints on the truck driver, telling them that they need to be in Tacoma by a certain day and certain time, they need to be in Chicago a short time later. They need to be in certain places at certain times and the only way the truck driver can meet those obligations the broker places on them is by violating federal law. By driving too long, by driving too fast, in those circumstances it is a receipe for disaster.

So we have the driver, we have the trucking company, we have brokers, anyone involved in that trucking transaction are appropriate defendents in a truck crash case.
