Who Are All Possible Liable Parties?
All possible liable parties in a trucking accident include the truck driver, the owners of the trucking company, the truck manufacturer (if the truck had defective parts deemed unreasonably dangerous), a third-party maintenance company, and even the city or municipality where the accident took place. This is provided, as long as the fault does not reside with the driver of the other vehicle.
Can I Also Sue the Driver Of the Vehicle Separately?
Yes.
If The Driver Was An Independent Contractor, How Might That Complicate The Claim?
In most cases, money awarded in a truck accident settlement is the responsibility of the insurance company. However, one major complication that could arise is if the truck driver was an independent contractor with inadequate insurance.
What Are The Biggest Challenges Someone Might Face After An Accident Like This?
There are two major types of challenges facing those who are injured in a truck accident. One is the severity of the injuries and the length of recovery. The other is the fact that the injured party may be facing large and well-funded professional entities, such as the trucking company and its insurance company.

Under Florida’s pure comparative negligence standards, you may be entitled to compensation, even if you were deemed partially at fault in the cause of the accident.
