Encinitas, CA personal injury attorney Jeffrey Padilla talks about how truck accident cases are different from other motor vehicle accident cases. Trucking accidents are unique due to the numerous regulations that govern trucks on highways. As common carriers, trucks are subject to a distinct set of laws that they must follow. Additionally, liability in trucking cases may extend beyond the truck operator alone. Claims can potentially be pursued against the individual or entity that hired the truck operator for the haul, as well as the company responsible for the goods being delivered. This complexity necessitates a thorough investigation and careful consideration of various factors, making trucking cases significantly more intricate than typical automobile accidents.
