When Victims are Entitled to Settlements

Truck accident victims will be most likely be eligible for compensation if the accident was caused by another person or entity’s negligence or recklessness, such as:

Driver fatigue and/or distraction
Driver inexperience
Driver intoxication
Careless and/or reckless driving
Vehicle part defects, malfunctions or failure

Keep in mind that “driver” can refer to errors made by truck drivers, as well as drivers of other smaller passenger cars. Nevertheless, if any of these factors plays a role in causing or worsening a trucking accident – regardless of other factors, such as weather or road conditions, injured parties will likely have a legitimate legal claim and can recover compensation for their truck accident injuries and losses by filing a case.
