Liability in Mandeville Truck Accidents
With your truck accident attorney, you should consider the following parties when determining who is responsible for your injuries:
- Several forms of negligence can be attributed to trucking companies, including bad hiring practices, poor employee training, and inadequate truck maintenance.
- Negligence could be very likely if a truck driver violated the law or acted in bad judgment.
- Improperly prepared freight indicates negligence on the part of the shipper.

The immediate circumstances of the accident have a strong bearing on the case, but many other factors could have been at play long before the accident:
- If the trucking company failed to provide adequate training or track their drivers properly, then they too could be responsible for your injuries.
- If the trucking company failed to maintain the truck properly, and that contributed to the accident, then you may have a claim against them.
- A mechanical issue may have originated in the design of the vehicle itself, in which case you may be able to sue the manufacturer.

- A mechanical issue may have originated in the design of the vehicle itself, in which case you may be able to sue the manufacturer.
It is also important to examine the cargo being transported. In rare cases, the freight itself may be dangerous, e.g. fuel, chemicals, or it could be improperly stored. You may be able to file a claim against the cargo company that hired the transport company if the company did not comply with federal or state regulations regarding the shipment of materials.
1.3 MILLION
2019: 18-WHEELER ACCIDENT CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES WITH A SHOULDER SURGERY, KNEE SURGERY, AND CERVICAL AND LUMBAR DISC HERNIATIONS
Our client was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler on the Interstate, which caused her serious injuries. She underwent a shoulder and knee surgery and was recommended to undergo a total knee replacement. She also sustained lumbar and cervical disc herniations and was recommended to undergo a cervical fusion surgery. The company challenged that her injuries were the result of the accident at mediation, cuasing our client to reject their offer and leave mediation, but they ultimately paid $1.3 million in advance of trial.
