Car collisions with a pick-up truck are much like a typical car wreck, although the car driver and passengers may be more seriously injured because of the difference in vehicle height and weight.

A trucking accident, on the other hand, is significantly different. When tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, garbage trucks, and other commercial big rigs are involved, it’s another ballgame entirely. If the truck is being driven for work purposes, more investigation needs to be done.

Who Is Financially Liable for the Truck Accident?

Truck accident cases can involve multiple insurance companies: the insurer of the truck driver (who may or may not own the rig), the insurer of the trucking company, and the insurer of the company that hired the trucking company to ship their cargo. Each of these insurers may operate in a different state. The trucker and the trucking company may also be based in another state.

Untangling insurance considerations in a truck accident injury case or a wrongful death case takes experience and skill. That’s what The Law Firm of Ted B. Lyon & Associates brings to the table.

Our highly experienced Mesquite truck accident lawyers level the playing field for injured clients and grieving families. Learn how we can help you by scheduling a free initial consultation. Call 877-Ted-Lyon / 877-833-5966 or contact us online.

Who or What Was Responsible for the Truck Crash?

That’s the first big question we investigate. When it comes to truck accident causes there could be many.

  • Driver fatigue or too heavy a workload
  • A company pushing the driver to work too many hours
  • Driver drug use or drunk driving
  • Unsafe driving for road conditions or for the cargo weight
  • Unsecured or poorly secured loads, overweight loads
  • Defective parts or equipment on the truck
  • Delayed maintenance

Mesquite Truck Accident Areas

Trucking accidents often occur on interstates and highways. In the Mesquite area, that’s usually along I-635, US 80, and I-30.
