St. Louis Truck Accidents - Who is Responsible?

Trucking Accident Attorney Serving St. Louis

Who is responsible for causing a trucking accident? This is an important question to address if you or someone you love was injured in a truck accident in the St. Louis area. You will need to handle your insurance claim and may have the right to file a lawsuit against the party that caused the accident, seeking financial compensation for your injuries. Establishing who is responsible for the accident in the first place will be a key part of this.

At the Cagle Law Firm, we are dedicated to helping victims of truck accidents throughout Missouri. We understand that these cases can be particularly difficult, particularly when they involve a large commercial trucking company or similar corporation that may have a team of attorneys at their disposal to contest your claim. When you work with a St. Louis trucking accident attorney at our law offices, we will work to accurately establish what caused your accident and therefore who should be held liable (legally responsible).

Determining Responsibility in a Truck Accident

In order to determine who should be held responsible for a truck accident, our firm may work with accident reconstruction specialists and other professionals who can help us conduct a complete investigation into the accident and then build a strong case that establishes what actions caused the accident. For example, we may be able to prove that the driver of the truck was speeding and therefore did not have sufficient time to stop, causing a rear-end accident. In a thorough investigation of this accident, we may discover that the driver was behind schedule or that he or she was placed on an almost impossible deadline. We may be able to hold the trucking company responsible and may be able to recover financial damages that will cover your medical bills, lost earnings, and other economic and non-economic damages.
