Involved in a truck accident with an independent contract driver?

Information on Independent Contract Drivers

Many truck drivers, instead of working for a trucking company, are independent contractors. This means that they own their own truck and do not report to a parent company. In essence, they are their own, one-truck trucking company. Some independent contractors, however, may not have the same time and resources to dedicate to the proper maintenance of their trucks, like large trucking companies do. If you have been involved in a truck accident with an independent driver, contact a Houston truck accident attorney from our firm today. We can help you determine how to pursue legal action and seek compensation.

Independent contractors often hire out their trucks to other independent drivers. In these instances, accident cases become more complex, as there are now several different insurance companies and parties to deal with. Our attorneys are experienced in determining liability for an accident, and what insurance policies and companies will cover the cost of the accident and injuries. Contact us today to discuss the particulars of your case. We can help you decide who to seek compensation from, the independent driver, or the contractor whom the truck belongs to.
