Armored trucks are trucks designed in a specific way to transport valuables such as money or jewelry. Due to their specific design, they can be much heavier than another truck of that size – up to 55,000 pounds, in fact. This can make for higher susceptibility to an accident. If you or a loved one was injured in an armored truck accident, contact us for a free consultation to see if you may be entitled to compensation.
What kinds of accidents and injuries can occur?
Armored truck accidents are typically collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians. This can be due to an inexperienced driver, negligent driving, or a defect in the vehicle. In any collision accident, injuries can include bruising, whiplash, broken bones, concussions, traumatic brain injury, neck and back injuries, paralysis, and even death.
Who is liable?
Negligence is the basis of these types of accident lawsuits. Negligence occurs when one party breaches the duty of care that they owe to others on the road and injuries directly resulting from the accident. A business or corporation typically owns an armored truck. They can be found liable if they hire an inexperienced or improperly trained driver. This is considered to be negligent hiring since hiring such a driver puts all other people on the road at risk. The business or corporation that owns the armored truck can also be held liable if they fail to keep the truck in working conditions since they are responsible for maintaining and inspecting it. If a defect in the truck itself causes the accident, the truck’s manufacturer can be held liable for the accident. In a collision with another vehicle, attorneys can assist in finding who the liable party is by investigating the accident and trying to find who failed to follow the laws and rules of the road.
