The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, Will Prove a Liable Party Owes You Damages
Truck drivers are held to a higher standard than passenger vehicle operators. Commercial drivers have to adhere to state traffic laws and specific rules, regulations, and requirements for commercial operators outlined by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
If a driver was speeding, drinking, texting, sleeping at the wheel, or engaged in another negligent or dangerous behavior, our Fairfax commercial truck accident injury team can prove they are liable for your injury and damages. We can pursue compensation from the driver, their employer, or any other entity whose wrongful actions contributed to your crash, including:
- The trucking company
- The owner of the truck’s cargo
- The entity responsible for packing and loading the truck
- The entity responsible for the truck’s maintenance
- The manufacturer of a defective vehicle or auto part
- A negligent third-party motorist
- A private or government roadway owner
Types of Negligence That Could Have Played a Role in Your Accident
In addition to driver negligence, many other issues of negligence could contribute to a commercial truck accident, including:
- Lack of vehicle maintenance
- Lack of driver training
- Lack of truck safety features, such as mirrors and underride guards
- Mishandled or mislabeled gasoline, chemicals, or other dangerous cargo
- Improperly connected tractor-trailers
- Overloaded or unsecured cargo
- Engine trouble, faulty brakes, defective tires, or another vehicle/part malfunctions
- Negligent road maintenance
- Broken traffic lights or obstructed traffic signs
- Poorly/dangerously designed roads and intersections
The Parrish Law Firm, PLLC, will investigate your accident, identify liable parties, and collect evidence proving that another party caused your crash and owes you damages.
