contact us nowWho is Liable for a Truck Accident?
Determining liability in a truck accident case can take some amount of investigation, as there are many possible liable parties. Important information such as “what caused the accident?” “was the driver behaving negligently?”, or “who owns the truck?” can all play an important role in determining liability. While this can be a complicated process, our firm is experienced in investigating truck accident cases and has the skill and knowledge to properly identify the appropriate party who can be held responsible for your accident. While there are many possible liable parties after a truck accident the parties most often held responsible are the trucking company, the truck driver, and at times, the truck manufacturer. The trucking company is most often held liable since they are often caught encouraging their drivers to break trucking regulations in order to help save their company money. If however, an accident was caused by the negligent actions of a trucker they may be held liable for an accident. This negligence can include drinking while driving or distracted. Last, if a truck is found to have manufacturing defects that caused the accident, the manufacturer of the truck may be held liable.Trucks and the Hours of Service Regulations
Commercial trucks and those who drive them are heavily regulated in order to keep them and other motorists safe. One important set of rules truckers are required to follow is called the hours of service regulations. These rules exist to try to ensure that truck drivers are well rested while on the road since fatigued driving is a major cause of accidents. The hours of service regulations states:
- Truckers can work up to 14 hours in a day but, since they are required to take rest and meal breaks during their workday, they are only able to drive for 11 hours in one day.
- Drivers must rest for at least 10 consecutive hours at the end of each workday.
- Truckers must also take days off work at regular intervals. Generally, drivers must take a break after working up to 60 or 70 hours in a 7 or 8 day period depending on the hours the company they drive for holds.

Words of Praise from Our Clients
“Such amazing and professional attorneys. I would (and have) highly recommend Bill Green to anyone who needs a professional and classy individual for representation. I was self represented for a year and a half, and the opposing attorney was just disrespectful, and unprofessional with her personal opinions which spun the case out of control. Bill has the right attitude and level headed legal knowledge to assert whats wrong and bring justice where it is needed. My case is very much on the right track because of Bill.”
- amy w“Bill Green taking my case was life changing, I truly do not know what I would have done had I not retained his services. It was not easy finding a competent lawyer such as Bill in this field. Bill and his team are incredibly caring, ethical and kind, that is not easy to find these days. When Bill or a member of his team say they will do something, it gets done. Bill and team are always patient and make time for me. What stands out the most is Bill’s expertise, professionalism, knowledge and concern for his clients best interest. With his calm and approachable demeanor, genuine caring personality, I always feel I can contact him. Bill is an incredibly competent lawyer and a true gem. I would (and have) highly recommend Bill Green to anyone needing representation.”
- staci g“Delfino Green & Green handled my disability case in the San Francisco Bay Area and I recommend them highly. Bill Green was thorough in evaluating my case and explaining the issues to me. I felt they were a strong advocate and were attentive and concerned with protecting my best interests. They kept me up to date and communicated well. I am a physician and was referred to them by another physician so they can be called ‘the doctors’ lawyer.’”
- Kenneth F“The attorneys here are simultaneously the most competent and the most willing to go above and beyond for their clients in the areas of law they practice. The attorneys here are extremely competent, and the attorneys at this law firm have inspired me to practice law not for money nor personal glory, but for simply making a positive impact on people’s lives and on society, especially for individuals who have been wrongly treated. This firm embodies every attribute that an ideal attorney should carry in their careers. From tenacity to compassion and going above and beyond for the sake of their clients, you’re truly in the best hands if your case is lucky enough to be accepted by these high level attorneys.”
