ACCIDENT CAUSED BY TRUCK – TRAILER OWNER ALSO RESPONSIBLE
A truck accident can cause huge damage – especially if the truck is hauling a loaded trailer. Our car accident lawyers handle many cases where a truck was at fault. Unfortunately, the injuries can be severe or catastrophic. Most trucks have a lot of insurance. However, there are still some cases where the insurance is limited because of the extent of the damage and injuries. Therefore, our lawyers always look at all possible sources of insurance for a truck accident. One possiblity is if the owner of the trailer is different than the owner of the truck. Often, we can get compensation from the owner of the trailer in addition to the owner of the truck.
It is common for the trailer and the truck to have different owners. Often the truck driver is just hauling a trailer he doesn’t own from one place to another. Of course, if the truck driver causes the accident, his insurance will be primarly responsible. However, there is some cases where the driver’s insurance is just not enough. For example, if the truck causes a multi car pileup with many injuries. In those cases, it can be very helpful to know that the trailer’s insurance can also be held responsible.
