How Do You Determine Fault in a Gilbert Truck Accident?
Our Gilbert attorneys could hold multiple parties liable for a truck accident depending on the circumstances of the case:
- The truck driver – Negligent behaviors such as distracted driving, speeding, fatigue, or driving under the influence
- The trucking company – Improper training, unrealistic delivery schedules, or failure to ensure regulatory compliance
- The maintenance crew – Poor vehicle maintenance, such as brake failure or tire defects, contributed to the crash
- Third-party loaders or cargo handlers – Faulty or imbalanced cargo that makes the truck more prone to tipping or jackknifing
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration oversees and regulates commercial trucking practices to increase safety and reduce the risk of accidents. Some of the key areas that FMCSA regulates include:
- Hours of service limits
- Drug and alcohol testing requirements
- Vehicle maintenance standards
- Driver qualification standards
- Load Securement Regulations
If any of these federal rules are violated, it can support a claim of negligence against the responsible party.
Arizona traffic laws can also apply to a case where any of the following is violated:
- Speed limits and right-of-way laws
- Lane restrictions for commercial vehicles
- Truck weight limits and permit compliance
It’s vital to preserve evidence in the immediate aftermath of a crash. Our team can launch a swift investigation to collect the following:
- The truck’s black box data, which records speed, brake use, and engine activity
- Driver logs
- Maintenance records
- Surveillance footage or dashcam videos
- Witness statements
- Accident reconstruction expert statements

Available Compensation After a Gilbert Truck Crash
Our Gilbert lawyers can help truck accident victims recover several forms of compensation under Arizona law.
Economic damages represent the objective and tangible losses resulting from a truck collision, such as:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Non-economic damages cover the more subjective losses from a trucking wreck, including the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Psychological trauma

In cases involving a wrongful death, damages may be awarded to the surviving family to cover funeral costs, loss of consortium, and any medical expenses that the deceased incurred before passing away.
