Studies show that the leading cause of most truck accidents is some form of negligent behavior, whether that be driving while fatigued, speeding, driving under the influence, or texting. There are other causes as well, such as defective auto parts or hazardous roadways. Because there can be many factors involved in a truck accident, several different parties may be held liable. For example, depending on the what caused the crash, liable parties could be the truck driver, the employer, the owner of the truck company, the owner of the cargo, the truck’s manufacturer, or even federal government agencies.

Once the police determine what caused this accident, the injured victim could file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a California personal injury attorney.
