Our High Springs Truck Crash Attorneys Understand Fault and Liability in 18-Wheeler Accidents

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), there were more than 3,300 accident injuries in Alachua County in 2023. With the proximity of U.S. 27/41 and I-75 to High Springs, some of these accidents most likely involved commercial drivers behind the wheel of big rigs.

Unfortunately, tractor-trailer crashes often cause more significant injuries than accidents involving only passenger cars. Our attorneys understand how important securing a fair payout is to those with serious injuries because of a collision.

We also know that liability in truck accident cases is typically more complex than in most High Springs car accidents. When a truck driver causes a crash and serious injuries, they are often not the only liable party.

Who Is Liable for My Truck Accident Injuries?

Liability in truck accident cases is often complicated. If the truck driver’s negligence caused the crash, their employer is often vicariously liable under a legal doctrine, respondeat superior. Other scenarios could mean these parties are liable:

The trucking company for violating federal or state trucking regulations
The trucking company for negligent hiring or retention
A maintenance company for issues with the truck or trailer
The owner of the cargo for issues that occurred and caused the crash
Parts manufacturers for dangerous or defective parts
