Who Is Liable for a Truck Accident?
Truck accident claims are often more complex than other motor vehicle accident claims. This is because there are often multiple parties involved in the operation of a commercial truck, and more than one party may be liable for the victim’s damages.
Depending on the circumstances, one or more of the following parties may be liable for a truck accident:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company
- The truck’s owner
- The truck’s manufacturer
- The truck’s maintenance provider
- The truck’s cargo loader
- Another motorist
Truck accident claims are also more complex because multiple insurance policies are often involved. For example, the truck driver may have his or her insurance policy, the trucking company may have a separate policy, and the truck’s owner may have yet another policy.
Additionally, the truck’s cargo may be insured separately.
Our Parsippany truck accident attorney can help you navigate the complexities of your case and work to identify all potentially liable parties and insurance policies.
How Long Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit?
If you were injured in a big rig accident, you have limited time to take legal action.
In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is generally two years from the accident date. Similarly, if you lost a loved one in a trucking accident, you have two years from the date of their death to file a wrongful death lawsuit for damages.
If you fail to file a truck accident lawsuit within this two-year window, you will likely lose your right to recover compensation for your damages.
Because the statute of limitations is so strict, you must contact an experienced truck accident lawyer in Parsippany immediately after your accident. At DeZao & DeZao, P.C., we can help you understand the applicable deadlines and ensure your claim is filed on time.
