Truck accidents on the surface may look like a regular accident but it really is not. Truck accidents can prove to be more complicated and deadlier than any other personal injury accident in Miami. 

Why is that?

Well mainly it is because of the amount of parties that are actually involved. Although on the surface it is JUST the truck driver, there are multiple factors and parties involved. There is the actual driver, the company that employed him, and the loaders. Why are all these factors so important? Well mainly because they all play a part as to why the truck accident may have occurred.

The Driver At Fault

If the truck driver was at fault, there are a multitude of reasons as to WHY the driver was at fault. Maybe they were sleepy. Maybe they were distracted by the scenery. Point is that a truck driver can also get distracted just like a regular driver. In addition, a truck driver has to deal with a vehicle that is essentially more than 3 times longer than a regular vehicle. 

The blind spots in a truck is different from a blind spot in a regular sedan. Because of this, truck drivers have a different approach when it comes to driving. They must keep a certain distance away from drivers and always maintain an alert eye for their blind spots. 

The Company At Fault

Although you may have never thought of this, the truck driver tends to be employed by a company. Whether it is a big company or not, that doesn’t matter. The company that employed them is also going to be held responsible because they are the ones that allowed this driver on the road. However, it is important to take note and ask whether the driver is an actual employee or an independent contractor. 

If they are an independent contractor, you may have to file suit differently 

However, if they are a trucking company that employed the driver, you may be in for financial compensation since the company will also be held responsible for the truck driving accident.

The Loaders At Fault

The loaders can also be found at fault. Loaders are the ones that actually load the truck, so if they misload or overload the truck to the point that the driver was unable to control the actions of the truck and it ends up causing or being a cause of the truck accident, the loaders can also be found at fault as well.
