Carver County, MN Semi Accident:
Lawyer Explains Semi Accident Liability

It appears that the semi driver is at fault for this accident. If so, the semi driver and others may be liable, which means the semi driver's insurance company and others will have to pay money to the families of those killed under Minnesota wrongful death laws and to those injured and their families (see list above).

Liable parties for this semi truck accident lawsuit may include any or all of the following:

The driver of the truck
The owner of the truck
The owners of the tractor-trailer cab and trailer
The owner of the freight
The employer of the driver
The manufacturer of the truck or a part of the truck (if a defective brakes contributed to the accident)

“This is a tragic situation. So often, when a truck accident happens and the semi-truck driver is at fault, trucking companies and insurance companies act quickly to try to limit their liability," stated Attorney Eric Hageman, who has recovered millions for accident victims. " Unfortunately, there is often a lot of information that it is important to obtain very soon after the accident, which is why it’s important to hire an experienced law firm as soon as possible.”
