Who may be responsible for the injuries suffered as the result of a truck driver’s negligence?
If the driver of the truck was negligent and his negligence caused you injury, he may be liable for the damages you suffered. The truck driver’s employer and in some cases the entity which leases the vehicle may also be liable for the negligent conduct of a truck driver. The terms of the lease and the nature of the relationship between the driver and the party that retained and compensates him must be examined to determine their potential liability.
