Who Is Liable for Damages in a Car Accident?
Who is liable for damages in your case depends on its circumstances:
Insurance Companies
Most often, drivers involved in the accident are responsible for the damage they caused. In these cases, the at-fault driver’s insurance owes compensation to the accident victim. However, if you are part of an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may seek compensation from your insurance company.
The At-Fault Driver
An at-fault driver may be personally responsible for damages if they were driving or acting recklessly or lawlessly.
Trucking Companies, Rideshare Companies, & Third Parties
Cases involving commercial trucks or rideshare drivers are complicated. The trucking or rideshare company could be liable for damages if their driver was fulfilling employment duties. In commercial trucking accidents specifically, other parties like part manufacturers, maintenance providers, and loading companies could also be liable.
Government Entities
Government entities may be responsible for accidents resulting from things like road defects and poorly maintained traffic signals. Special rules apply in these cases, so it is essential to consult a knowledgeable attorney about your options for seeking damages from a government entity.
