  • The trucking company that employs the driver;
  • The repair facility that serviced the truck;
  • The manufacturer of the truck and associated equipment; and
  • The inspection departments that certified the truck. 

As the cause of your truck accident is determined, one or more of these parties may be found liable for your injuries. Negligence on their behalf will make them eligible to be included in a third-party liability lawsuit.A note of warning when getting involved in a third-party liability lawsuit; you will most likely be going up against large companies with insurance companies that handle hundreds of similar cases a year.
