Re: Accident involving a car and commercial truck
Generally speaking, the person who was talking on the cell phone would be liable. However, there are some special circumstances where someone that carries dangerous cargo could also be liable. Its hard to tell given the few fact you provided if that applies. Your welcome to call. Robert Johnston.
