When you find yourself involved in a truck accident in or around McKinney, it pays to have a solid attorney on your side. Truck accidents can be very difficult to deal with, as they can drain your ability to work. They can cause property damage, and in many cases, they will bring huge medical bills. Most people cannot afford these costs. More than 10 million people were involved in accidents on American roads last year, and you must get very lucky to avoid accidents for the entirety of your time as a driver. With that in mind, there are some critical things to know about truck accidents. If you have been involved in one, you would be wise to contact the attorneys at Zinda Law Group to provide critical legal assistance.
Determining the Parties at Fault
Your first challenge in a truck accident is figuring out who was at fault. You might think that would be easy. In some cases, though, multiple parties might be at fault. Simply suing the driver is probably not good enough, as he might be judgment-proof. You might also need to file a lawsuit against the trucking company that hired that driver. You may also file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the truck if it turns out that the truck malfunctioned in some meaningful way. A good attorney will help you identify all of the parties that might share responsibility for your accident.
