If you have been injured in an auto accident with a tanker truck—or you were the driver of the tanker truck—you may have grounds for filing a personal injury lawsuit to recover medical costs and loss of income while recuperating. Spouses of accident victims who have died also have grounds to sue. In many cases, there are multiple parties who can be held liable—from the trucking company to the manufacturer of the truck and even the city responsible for maintaining the roadway where the accident occurred.
