In construction truck accidents, there may be multiple liable parties, including the truck driver, the construction company, equipment manufacturers, and others.
If you were hurt when a construction truck hit your vehicle, a Milwaukee truck accident lawyer can determine who is liable for the crash. We’ll then help you go after the liable parties to get the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Who’s Liable in a Construction Truck Accident?
While there might be a single responsible party, many parties might share liability in a construction accident.
An experienced truck accident attorney from Gruber Law Offices can look at your case, determine who is liable, and hold them responsible for your injuries.
Reach out to our firm to start the process of getting the compensation you deserve after an accident that wasn’t your fault. We have represented victims of truck accidents for over 40 years, and our powerful team of over 130 legal professionals can help you recover your losses.
The Truck Driver
The first person who might be responsible for a construction truck accident would be the driver. They may be (at least partially) liable for the crash if they:
- Were speeding
- Were driving under the influence
- Were fatigued
- Broke a driving law or trucking regulation
- Failed to properly check their truck and cargo before driving
The Construction Company
The construction company could share liability for the crash if they hired a poorly trained driver, didn’t have adequate safety measures in place, or pushed the driver to make reckless decisions for the sake of speed or efficiency.
Government Entities
If a road isn’t properly maintained or if its design contributes to a truck accident crash, we may be able to hold a government entity partially responsible for the wreck.
Equipment, Truck, or Parts Manufacturers
Manufacturers can be held accountable if something they built failed and contributed to a construction truck accident.
Others
Other parties who might potentially be held liable for a construction truck accident include:
- Property owners
- Subcontractors
- Architects
- Engineers
- Third-party vendors

How Can a Truck Accident Lawyer Help After a Construction Truck Accident?
When you make “One Call…That’s All!” to Gruber Law Offices, our experienced attorneys will investigate the crash, gather evidence, determine who’s liable, and get you maximum compensation for your pain and suffering.
Investigate the Crash and Gather Evidence
After a construction truck accident, you can believe that the construction company and their insurance carrier will make an effort to avoid paying out any money.
We know all the tactics insurance companies play, and we’ll investigate the crash and gather evidence to prove who’s liable, including things like:
- The truck’s black box data
- The police report
- Your medical records
- Traffic camera footage
- Dashcam videos
- Bodycam footage
- Surveillance videos
Determine Who’s Liable
When you hire Gruber Law Offices, we’ll pinpoint each and every liable party and hold them responsible for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Get You Maximum Compensation
In some cases, we’re able to negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance companies. In other situations, we’ll take a case to a civil trial.
Either way, we’ll work hard to get you as much money as possible to help you start moving forward after a devastating construction truck accident.
How Long do You Have to File a Construction Truck Accident Claim in Wisconsin?
While Wisconsin gives you three years to file a personal injury lawsuit after being injured in a construction truck accident, you should contact an experienced Wisconsin truck accident lawyer as soon as you can.
The construction company will have a large insurance carrier trying to pay you as little as possible.
We can help you fight against the insurance company, but we need time to gather evidence and put your case together. You may also waive your right to legal action if you don’t file your claim within three years.
