Leading causes of truck accidents in Louisville

It is extremely common for there to be more than one factor that has contributed to the cause of a truck accident. In terms of a successful claim it is important to understand exactly what the cause or causes of the truck accident were, so that you can take appropriate action in terms of your claim.

At Louisville Injury Law Firm, we work collaboratively with you and many trained experts, including accident reconstruction experts to ensure we get to the bottom of the cause of your accident so we can take the steps necessary to file a successful claim for compensation on your behalf.

The company who owns the truck or the company who employs the driver

The manufacturer of the parts should the truck be deemed defective

Other drivers or pedestrians who contributed to the accident
