Who is responsible for a truck accident caused by a tired driver?

Multiple parties may be liable in a commercial truck accident. The truck driver is responsible for driving while fatigued, but the trucking company may also be held liable for encouraging hours-of-service violations or failing to monitor their drivers. Additionally, cargo loaders or maintenance providers could share fault depending on the crash factors. Trucking companies have extensive legal resources. Jeffrey S. Altman at The Altman Law Firm thoroughly investigates logbooks and corporate records to identify all responsible parties in these complex cases.
