Farmington Truck Accident Lawyer

While fault may fall onto one single party, you can often assign liability to multiple people and entities. Some of the potentially liable parties include the following:

• The truck driver – If an oilfield equipment hauler traveling through Utah exhibits negligence, such as texting and driving or falling asleep at the wheel, this could cause an accident.
• The trucking company – If an employer is placing pressure on their drivers to push hours-of-service limits, a consequential accident could hold the company partially at-fault.
• Cargo loaders – Freight trucks entering or exiting Farmington via US-64 or US-550 may be overloaded or improperly secured. If this leads to cargo becoming loose or the truck tipping over, the loaders may be held responsible.
• Maintenance contractors – Truck maintenance teams are accountable for keeping the vehicles in good working condition. Mechanical errors that cause an accident can be traced back to maintenance negligence.
• Government agencies – Collisions caused by defective roadways, lack of signage, or poor construction detours can lead to government agency liability.
