The discovery process is the phase of litigation where both sides exchange evidence and gather information. In truck accident cases, discovery is often extensive due to the number of parties, regulations, and technical evidence involved.
Truck accidents often involve more than one negligent party. Determining who is legally responsible can be complex, as liability is frequently divided among drivers, companies, contractors, and even government agencies.
The trucking industry often relies on a web of third parties, including contractors and freight brokers. When these entities play a role in unsafe practices or negligent decisions, they too may be held liable in truck accident cases.
While truck drivers are often the immediate cause of accidents, trucking companies themselves can also be held legally responsible. Their policies, oversight, and compliance with safety regulations play a central role in accident prevention.
