There are several parties that may be held liable for a Georgia truck accident. For example, if the accident was caused by a truck driver who was driving under the influence, then that driver may be held liable for the truck accident. On the other hand, if a mechanical defect was the cause of the Georgia truck accident, then the manufacturer of the truck, or a manufacturer of its parts, may ultimately be held liable. Other parties that may be held liable for a Georgia truck accident include:

the owner of the truck;
the owner of the truck's cargo;
the trucking company which employs the driver (for example, Fed-Ex or UPS, etc.);
the company responsible for maintaining the truck; and
the driver/owner of another vehicle.

Typically, when a Georgia truck accident is caused by a commercial truck or van, the company that owns the truck or van will be held liable for the accident.
