This means that they don\u2019t want to be fully responsible for truck accident compensations, so other people involved in an 18-wheeler collision can be also liable for damages (depending on who is found to be at fault).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drivers themselves are generally not responsible for faulty or previously damaged parts on their vehicles\/cargo, and take photos of the vehicles\/cargo prior to loading. In cases of damages\/claims, we also request that customers email us the photos or explanation of an issue, then we review it and provide the carrier\u2019s insurance information to them. Finally, the insurance company decides who is liable for compensation, depending on damage type and provided reports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Blog-EasyHaul-Trucking-Accident-Law-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"trucking accident law\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Blog-EasyHaul-Trucking-Accident-Law-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Blog-EasyHaul-Trucking-Accident-Law-2-1000x563.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Blog-EasyHaul-Trucking-Accident-Law-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.easyhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Blog-EasyHaul-Trucking-Accident-Law-2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s crucial to name all the parties that can be responsible, or litigation can fail.
