Determining Liability in Sacramento FedEx Truck Accidents
When a large commercial truck like a FedEx delivery vehicle factors into a collision, there are typically multiple parties who could potentially be held liable for the resulting injuries and damages. Our Sacramento FedEx truck accident attorneys will thoroughly investigate to identify all sources of negligence.
Parties that may be liable include the following.
The FedEx Truck Driver
If the FedEx driver was fatigued from working excessive hours, distracted, impaired, or simply made poor driving decisions that violated traffic laws, they can be held directly liable. Truckers must operate these heavy vehicles responsibly.
FedEx As the Trucking Company
Under the legal doctrine of “respondeat superior,” employers like FedEx are vicariously liable for the negligent actions of their employees during the course of employment. Improper driver screening, training, or supervision practices can also implicate direct negligence.
Third-Party Contractors
FedEx commonly hires independent third-party drivers and transportation companies. If one of their contractors caused a truck crash, that entity may bear liability.
Vehicle and Auto Parts Manufacturers
Dangerously designed trucks or defective vehicle parts that malfunction can make the manufacturing companies liable if a defect contributed to the accident.
Cargo Loading Companies
Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo that shifts and causes trucks to lose control can create liability for the cargo company’s negligence.
Maintenance Companies
If a truck collision results from negligent maintenance, faulty repairs, or failure to address safety hazards, any maintenance companies involved may be liable parties.
Government Entities
In some cases, poorly designed roads, missing signs/signals, or hazardous road defects can be cited as a factor – making government transportation authorities potentially liable.
Omega Law Group has the resources to determine all sources of liability and fight to maximize your compensation from anyone who contributed to the crash and your damages.
