When any vehicle accident occurs, the first question is “Is everybody OK?” The second is usually, “Who’s at fault?”

In determining the fault of an accident involving a car and a semi truck, many variables come into play.

• Was the truck driver operating safely?
• Was he under enough stress or fatigue that he made a mistake and hit the car?
• Was he under the influence of alcohol or drugs?
• Was the truck itself properly maintained and safe for use on public roads?
• Did another vehicle cause the truck to lose control by swerving in front of it at a high rate of speed or in some other unsafe way?

Liability differs in each of these different scenarios, which is why you should work with a qualified Nashville trucking accident attorney at the Law Office of Stanley A. Davis to determine fault.

Determining liability in a Nashville trucking accident may not be a simple matter. A truck driver may seem clearly at fault, but if his employer deliberately placed him in an unsafe vehicle, the trucking company may be at fault. If another driver ‘cut off’ the truck, the driver may be at fault.
