Determining Liability in a Tulare Truck Accident

Truck accidents happen in many different areas throughout Tulare, including intersections. Because of the sheer size of trucks, these accidents tend to lead to catastrophic and life-altering injuries and damages. To be successful in a claim involving a semi-truck, victims or families have to be able to determine who is liable for the accident. Any of these parties could share liability in a semi-truck accident:

• A truck driver
• The owner of the truck
• A trucking company
