If you were hurt or a loved one was killed in a Kentucky truck crash, you likely have an opinion about who was at fault for causing the crash. You may believe it was the trucker, trucking company, truck manufacturer, or truck mechanic who made an error that caused the crash and your resulting injuries. However, ultimately it is not your opinion that matters.
Truck Crash Liability Will Be Decided With the Insurance Company or in Court
Liability, or fault, for your truck accident case will be decided in one of two ways. It will be decided:
- Through insurance company negotiations. The insurance company will likely have a different theory about liability than you do. Your lawyer can make sure that the insurance company understands who was liable and why, so that liability can be agreed upon and a fair settlement can be reached.
- In court. If a fair settlement cannot be reached during negotiations, your lawyer may take your case to court and present your case so that the court may rule on who was liable for the accident and how damages should be awarded.
Either way, you will need evidence about what happened in the truck crash case to prove who was liable and who should be held accountable for damages.
Truck Accident Liability Is Too Important to Leave to Chance
It is up to you, together with your truck accident lawyer if you hire one, to present convincing evidence of liability to the insurance company or the court.
