Who is responsible for my injuries after a collision with an 18-wheeler?

Liability in a commercial truck accident can extend to multiple parties. Unlike typical car accidents, you may hold the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, or the vehicle manufacturer accountable. Under Florida's comparative fault system (Fla. Stat. § 768.81), responsibility is distributed based on each party's percentage of fault. The Altman Law Firm investigates violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations, such as hours-of-service infractions or improper maintenance, to identify all liable entities. Jeffrey S. Altman works to uncover these complex layers of corporate liability to build a strong claim.
