Liability in a Plano Truck Accident 

With so many parties involved in a truck accident, it may be complex to determine who is responsible for your accident injuries and losses. With our extensive experience handling multifaceted cases, we know what it takes to demonstrate negligence. One or more parties may have contributed to your truck accident, including the following: 

  • The truck driver: A truck driver must uphold strict standards when behind the wheel of a big rig or other large vehicles. Negligent driving behaviors may cause serious accidents, such as distracted driving, road rage, or fatigued driving. 
  • The truck company or employer: Truck companies must adhere to safe driving practices, perform regular truck inspections and maintenance, and avoid overworking drivers. If they are found to have violated safety regulations, they may be responsible for any damages. 
  • Truck or parts manufacturer: If a defective part contributed to the truck accident, the manufacturer may be held liable for breaching a duty of care. 

Our experienced truck accident lawyers in Plano at Hilliard Law have won considerable compensation and jury verdicts for clients injured in trucking accidents, including $70 million in two months in serious commercial trucking accident cases.
