Not Every Driver Is as Careful as They Should Be
Every driver on Monroe’s roadways has a responsibility not to put other road users at an unreasonable risk of suffering harm—including professionals operating a vehicle for work. This is referred to as a standard of care. If a driver is negligent of this standard, they could be held liable for damages you sustain in a resulting accident. The truck driver in your accident may have neglected their standard of care as a motorist if they were:
- Speeding
- Running a red light, running a stop sign, or not properly reacting to a yield sign
- Under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident
- Engaged in an improper driving maneuver, such as changing lanes abruptly or crossing multiple lanes, that led to the accident
- Distracted at the time of the accident by their phone, eating or drinking, the vehicle’s entertainment system, or any action that took their attention away from driving
- Driving at nighttime or dusk without their headlights
- Not maintaining essential safety aspects of their vehicle

A Driver May Not Be the Only Party Liable for Your Losses
There may be other liable parties in your truck accident case besides the truck driver. If the truck driver is an employee or contractor for a larger company, that company may have liability in your accident if they:
- Failed to properly screen, train, and license the driver
- Failed to conduct regular tests for drug and alcohol use by drivers
- Failed to maintain a fleet of trucks that was safe and road-ready
- Pressured drivers to operate in an unsafe manner, or without enough rests between shifts
If a mechanical failure caused the truck accident, a truck mechanic or truck component manufacturer could be liable for your losses as well. A Monroe representative from Morris Bart, LLC can discuss the possible liable parties in your case during your free consultation call.
