Multiple Liability Policies in a Palm Beach County Car Accident With a Tractor Trailer
We've all yelled at those huge tractor trailers flying down the interstate. What happens when they cause an accident? Oftentimes, the tractor and trailer are covered by multiple policies. Under the dangerous instrumentality doctrine, the owner of the trailer will not usually be liable while the owner of the tractor will. If the driver of the trailer is an employee of the driver of the tractor, then the tractor driver could be vicariously liable. Generally, a pro rata share of the damages will be apportioned to the primary coverage on both the tractor and the trailer policies. if you have been in a Palm Beach County car accident with a tractor trailer, contact a West Palm Beach car accident attorney immediately. A knowledgeable attorney will insure that all possible policies providing coverage to the trailer and tractor are discovered in an effort to secure your rights to recover damages for your injuries.
