Who Is At Fault in a Truck T-Bone Accident?
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) reports that t-bone crashes account for nearly 25 percent of passenger vehicle accident fatalities. You may think most of these accidents are the fault of the vehicle doing the broadsiding, but that is a misconception. Either driver could be liable, depending on the circumstances of the crash. Causes of t-bones include:
- Improper turns
- Failure to stop at red lights or stop signs
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Distracted driving (e.g., eating, grooming, or texting)
- Fatigued driving
- Speeding
- Driving while intoxicated
- Reckless or aggressive driving (“road rage”)
The above actions may be the fault of the truck driver, but crashes involving large trucks can sometimes result from mechanical and maintenance problems, issues concerning the truck’s cargo, or road and weather conditions. In addition, cases involving commercial drivers usually also include a claim against their employer.
Potentially Liable Parties for Your Accident
Our lawyers will investigate your t-bone accident to determine its cause and who is at fault. If there are multiple liable parties, we can seek awards from all those financially responsible, which may include:
- A negligent truck driver
- A trucking company (or another employer)
- The truck’s owner (or the entity in charge of maintenance, inspections, and repairs)
- A vehicle or auto parts manufacturer
- A private or government roadway owner
- The owner of the truck’s cargo (or the entity responsible for loading the truck)
- A third-party motorist, bicyclist, or pedestrian
We Will Establish Financial Liability for Your Crash
Our truck accident lawyers will establish liability for your accident and prove your right to financial compensation. While you rest and recover, we will put in the time and work necessary to:
- Draft and send spoliation letters to the trucking company and other involved parties demanding they preserve employment records, drug and alcohol test results, the truck’s “black box” data recording, and other evidence
- Locate and interview eyewitnesses and consult with subject matter experts
- Obtain police reports, medical records, and other official documents
- Visit the scene of your crash to take photographs and collect physical data
- Track down available cell phone, surveillance, or dashcam footage of your accident
- Photograph your injuries and vehicle damages
- Identify and calculate your economic and noneconomic losses
We Will Act Before Time Runs Out
Whatever you do, do not let Georgia’s statute of limitations expire. Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, you generally have up to two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. The clock usually starts at the time of your accident or your loved one’s passing.
Missing the deadline could leave you without options for financial recovery. The sooner you reach out to our firm, the sooner we can start gathering evidence, filing your claims, and working toward an advantageous case resolution.
