Testimonials

Tony, I can't tell you what a blessing you and your team have been during the most tragic time in our lives. By taking over the responsibility of dealing with the hospital bills and insurance companies you've allowed me to focus on my duties as a father and husband.
My family and I just want to thank you for everything you have done and dedication in this car seat case.
I will always keep your professionalism in my heart! Thank you again Chad and Vanessa!
I went to a local lawyer to help my father and I after we were injured in an 18 Wheeler crash. That lawyer brought in another lawyer. Finally, Chad came on board and got our case resolved.

Is the truck driver or the trucking company liable for a truck wreck?

A: Both the truck driver and the trucking company may be liable for personal injuries or wrongful death caused by a truck wreck. In addition to a truck driver's liability, the trucking company that employs the driver may be vicariously liable for the driver's negligent actions under the doctrine of respondeat superior. In general, employers are responsible for any actions of an employee that are performed within the scope of his or her employment.

If, on the other hand, the driver is an independent contractor, it may be more difficult to hold the trucking company liable for the driver's actions. Proof of liability will depend on the amount of supervisory control the company had over the driver.
