Identifying the Liable Parties and Building a Solid Truck Accident Case
Our Kentucky car accident attorneys from Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers understand the case law, statutes, and conventions that outline how these cases work in Fort Thomas. We know the necessary evidence to prove negligence, how to determine who is liable, and how to approach the insurance companies about compensation.
When we handle a truck accident case, we first need to determine what happened and who caused the accident. There are several potentially liable parties in these collisions. They include:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company or another employer of the driver
- Another driver
- A truck parts manufacturer
- A garage tasked with maintenance or repairs
- Another party
In most cases, just like with other car accidents, the collision comes down to human error. Carelessness or reckless action leads to a crash. In a truck accident, though, the truck driver may not the only party legally responsible for their negligence.
Instead, the legal doctrine of respondeat superior generally applies. When an employee is negligent while acting within the course and scope of their job, their employer is also liable. For this reason, most of our truck accident cases are filed against a trucking company or another corporation instead of the truck driver alone.
To prove these cases and recover money for our clients, we must show:
- The driver had a duty to act a certain way, such as stop when they saw traffic stopped in front of them.
- The driver breached their duty, failing to stop when necessary.
- The driver’s breach of duty caused the collision.
- Our client suffered injuries, financial damages, and/or other harm
- The driver was working and acting on behalf of their employer at the time
We investigate these crashes and gather evidence to prove the value of our clients’ cases. Then, we demand an appropriate payout from the trucking company and driver or take them to trial to let the jury determine the case value.

Kentucky Statutes of Limitations Apply to Fort Thomas Truck Crash Cases
Kentucky has somewhat complicated auto accident rules, and a victim’s personal injury protection (PIP) policy will pay out to cover some of their damages. However, serious injuries in a tractor-trailer collision will cost well beyond the limits of this policy. If we cannot recover damages for our clients through a liability claim against the trucking company, we may need to sue.
In general, we have two years to sue the liable parties under Ky. Rev. Stat. § 304.39-230. The clock may begin ticking in these cases on the date of the accident or the date of their last PIP payment. There is also a one-year deadline that applies in wrongful death cases per Ky. Rev. Stat. § 413.180.
