If a semi-truck is carrying a hazardous liquid, and the victim of the accident is now suffering from respitory problems, can the driver as well as the shipper of the chemicals be held liable?

A: In certain instances, the shipper of such hazardous materials can be held legally responsible if injuries resulted from the type of cargo on the truck. This is especially true if the shipper failed to advise the driver or the trucking company of the hazardous nature of material contained in the freight.
