A: If the truck driver was responsible for the accident that caused your injuries, it's easy to know where the fault lies. Who exactly should pay the bill for your medical expenses is much more complicated.
Commercial truck drivers often have multiple license endorsements. For example, a truck driver may have a commercial trucking license as well as separate endorsements for carrying hazardous materials, for transporting passengers, for interstate driving, and more.
Each endorsement may be covered by multiple insurances, which means the insurance companies are more likely to try and pass off the bill to someone else.
Similarly, the truck driver may be an independent contractor or an employee of a specific company. The truck itself may be self-owned, leased or owned by a trucking company. Each of these factors will also make a difference in which insurance company is liable for the injuries you suffered.
If you are having trouble determining where to send your claim, talk to an experienced Maryland truck accident attorney who can help you make sense of the complicated mess. You deserve compensation, and we can help you get it.
