What if I Was a Passenger in a Car Hit by a Truck?

Semi Truck Accident If you were a passenger in a car hit by a truck, you may be able to sue a number of parties to get compensation for your injuries, including medical expenses, lost wages, lost future earnings, pain and suffering, loss of quality of life and other damages.

Suing the Driver of the Car

An injured passenger may be able to recover compensation from the driver’s insurance company. This may require the passenger to sue the driver, something that can be difficult when the driver is a friend or relative. This may be the only way for the passenger to get money from the driver’s insurance company. If you are an injured passenger and the driver in the accident was a friend or relative, please contact our law firm. We have handled numerous cases similar to yours. If your child was injured in an accident and you or the child’s other parent was the driver, your child may have to sue you or the other parent. Again, we have handled these cases.
The best way to alleviate your cares and concerns is to contact a lawyer with the experience to answer your questions. To contact a truck accident lawyer at our law firm, please call 1-888-377-8900 (toll free), email our attorneys or submit our online truck accident case review form.

Suing the Trucking Company, Truck Driver and Others

Suing a trucking company, truck driver or another unrelated party is not as emotional as suing a friend or relative, but determining who to sue and the extent of their liability (legal responsibility) is extremely complex. If you retain our law firm to represent you or your child, we will immediately investigate the accident to determine what parties may be pursued to compensate you.

Depending on the facts of the case, an injured passenger may be able to sue a number of parties, including some of the following:

The owner of the truck (trucking company, waste management company, construction company)
The owners of the tractor-trailer cab and trailer
The owner of the freight
The driver of the truck
The employer of the driver
A parent company of the owner of the truck or employer of the driver
The manufacturer of the truck, cab, trailer or any truck part
A third-party maintenance company
The driver and owner of another vehicle
The manufacturer of another vehicle
