Minneapolis Semi Truck Accident:
Semi Truck Driver at Fault

When a semi truck driver is at fault for an accident with a car, motorcycle, bus, bicycle, van, another truck or a pedestrian, several parties may be sued for money to compensate accident victims and their families:

The semi truck driver
The trucking company that owns the semi tractor
The owner of the trailer
The owner of the freight being transported
A truck maintenance company
A manufacturer of a defective part, semi truck air brakes, for example

If a trucking company does not admit that its driver was at fault for an accident, fault must be proved. Our experience is that most at-fault semi truck drivers did one of the following:

Drove inattentively (reading, talking on cell phone, texting, eating, nodding off, daydreaming)
Failed to stop for a stop sign or light
Merged improperly into traffic
Did not slow down in a construction zone
Speeded
Drove too close to another vehicle (tailgated).
Turned in an unsafe manner
Drove drunk or under the influence of drugs

In cases of gross negligence, our attorneys pursue punitive damages from the driver, trucking company and others. Punitive damages are amounts that are meant to punish the wrongdoers.
