David Glatthorn Law - 561-659-1999

Who pays for the injuries I sustained in a Florida trucking accidents?

 

A: Sometimes identifying the Defendant in a Florida truck crash is simple. If a company owns a truck and employs the driver, then the responsible Defendant can be quickly ascertained.

However, often trucks are leased or operating under a subcontract to another company. Sometimes the drivers themselves are "leased" employees. An additional situation can arise where the cause of the truck crash is the improper loading of a truck, causing the driver to lose control because of an unbalanced load. In that situation, it is often a completely different company that loaded the items hauled that may be responsible.
