Did You Cause the Louisville Truck Accident?

Did you cause the Louisville truck accident?  The defense lawyers are going to try to prove that the answer to this question is, yes.  The trucker, trucking company and insurer do not want to be held liable for your truck accident in Kentucky.  They do not want to have to pay for your injuries, so what they will try to show is that you did something that caused the collision.

The defense team will work hard to find evidence that you were to blame for the trucking accident.  For example, they will want to prove that you passed the truck unsafely, drove in the “no zone,” followed too closing or weren’t paying attention.  They may even say that you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 

Another common defense used by trucking companies is that the trucker is an independent contractor, not an employee at the time of the crash.  The trucking company will use this tactic or may argue that the trucker was using the vehicle for personal reasons, and therefore, the company is not responsible.

Kentucky truck accident cases are complex and require a thorough understanding of the law, as well as the factors that are often involved in these collisions.  If you have been injured in a truck accident in Louisville, you should contact Gray and White Law at 502-637-6000 or 800-637-6033 for legal advice.
