Is Someone Else Responsible For Your Truck Accident In Centennial?
A fault insurance system governs auto accident lawsuits in the state of Colorado. After a car collision, those who suffered physical harm and property damage will look for insurance compensation from the provider of the negligent driver.
For situations involving commercial truck accidents, the same rule holds true. If the truck driver was at fault for the collision—for example, by exceeding the legal speed limit or violating other hours-of-service rules—he or she is liable for any resulting damages. However, the vicarious responsibility legislation could alter who is responsible (the defendant) in your truck accident case.
Employers are subject to a statute known as vicarious responsibility. According to this, a company is held accountable both legally and financially for the conduct of its on-duty personnel. You will submit an insurance claim with the truck company’s insurer rather than the individual driver if the truck driver was an employee of a truck company at the time of your collision. However, the driver will be held accountable if they were an owner/operator.
