Who Can File a Truck Accident Lawsuit in Manchester?

Anyone injured due to the negligence of another has a right to file a lawsuit against the negligent party. They may seek compensation for any damages related to that negligence.

A few common examples of negligence that may be considered grounds for a claim include:

  • Speeding or driving aggressively
  • Making unsafe turns or lane changes
  • Attempting to pass when it isn’t safe
  • Drunk and impaired driving
  • Fatigued/drowsy driving, especially due to overwork
  • Driving a truck with defective parts or in poor maintenance
  • Transporting too much cargo for a truck’s weight limit

In many cases, the trucking company will be held liable for negligence on the parts of their employees/truck drivers. This is because employers are obligated to make sure that they hire competent employees and to provide them with the training they need to do their jobs safely.

There are some cases, however, in which the truck driver, another employee, or a truck parts manufacturer may be liable for your damages. It is best to consult a truck accident lawyer to determine which party will be considered liable in the law’s eyes.

What If I’m Partially At Fault for the Truck Accident?

New Hampshire follows a contributory negligence rule, meaning that victims who are partially at fault for an accident can still sue the other party. Your compensation will be reduced accordingly.

For instance, if you suffered $10,000 in damages but are considered 10% at fault because you were speeding, then you will be compensated for the remaining 90% of your damages (or $9,000).
