Who can be held liable for a commercial truck accident in Florida?

Liability in a commercial truck accident often extends beyond the driver. Under Florida law, multiple parties may share responsibility, including the trucking company, cargo loaders, vehicle manufacturers, or maintenance contractors. The Altman Law Firm investigates these complex claims by analyzing Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) compliance and driver logs. Under Florida's comparative fault system (Fla. Stat. § 768.81), fault can be apportioned among multiple negligent entities. Jeffrey S. Altman works diligently to identify all responsible parties to help you pursue the financial recovery necessary for your injuries.
