The owner of the truck or the trucking company will also bear legal responsibility for your injuries, damages, and losses. There exist a principle in U.S. law known as agency. Through this legal doctrine, an employer is responsible for injuries caused to you by an employee when the conduct causing an accident occurs during the course of employment.
