How is liability determined in a trucking accident in Florida?
October 11, 2024 – Web Support
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system for determining liability in truck accidents. In some instances, this system allows multiple parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, and even the injured party, to share the fault for the accident. However, those who suffer injuries due to negligence can seek compensation only if they are deemed 50 percent or less at fault. If someone is injured and found to be more than 50 percent responsible for the accident, they are barred from claiming damages.
