Who Is Liable for a Truck Accident in Henderson, NV?
One of the most important responsibilities our attorneys have is to identify all parties responsible for your accident. By uncovering multiple parties, we can ensure that all those who owe you compensation are held accountable. Examples of those who may be liable include:
- The truck driver, if they are intoxicated, driving recklessly, or operating in an aggressive manner
- The trucking company, for failing to hire a skilled, licensed, and safe driver
- A cargo loading company, if the cargo on the truck shifted, causing the accident
- Vehicle technicians and maintenance professionals who failed to maintain the vehicle properly
- The truck or component manufacturer, if a defect caused the incident
With evidence of who caused your accident, our Henderson truck accident attorney can build a claim, documenting all of the losses you have, and then negotiate with all responsible insurance companies.
How Long Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Claim in Nevada?
In most personal injury cases involving a truck accident, victims have a two-year statute of limitations to meet. That means you have up to two years to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. If you miss this deadline and do not qualify for one of the very few exemptions, you are barred from seeking action.
