Who Is Liable In Commercial Vehicle Accidents?
California is a commerce-rich state, and its roads and highways are filled with commercial vehicles both day and night. These vehicles are often involved in serious accidents. Commercial vehicle accidents can have numerous causes including:
- Driver error: Many commercial drivers rush to get their jobs done and may speed or drive recklessly in the process. Additionally, some drivers may pull long hours on the road and experience fatigue. Other accidents are caused by inadequate training or supervision. Depending on the circumstances, the driver and/or the driver’s employer may be liable.
- Vehicle malfunction: If motor vehicle defects, such as brake failure, caused the accident, the vehicle’s manufacturer – or whoever is responsible for the vehicle’s maintenance – may be liable.
- Dangerous roads and highways: When an accident occurs because the road was poorly designed or maintained, the government may be at fault.
