Impact of autonomous trucks on liability
As autonomous trucks move closer to widespread use, they raise complex legal questions about who is liable when accidents occur—drivers, trucking companies, manufacturers, or technology providers.
Product liability
Steps in filing a complaint
Filing a lawsuit after a truck accident begins with the formal complaint. This legal document initiates the case and outlines the plaintiff’s claims against the defendants.
Manufacturers of defective parts
Not all truck accidents are caused by driver error or company negligence. Sometimes, defective parts manufactured or designed improperly are the root cause, making the manufacturer a liable party.
