Liability arising from transport of dangerous goods by road

Road transport of dangerous goods is a risky undertaking that can cause serious problems if a vehicle carrying dangerous goods is involved in an accident. This form of transport is regulated by a complex system of regulatory sources. The presence of an extremely fragmented discipline raises the problem of analyzing a legislative system composed of several layers, which can lead to many legal problems.

Road transport of dangerous goods is a risky undertaking which can cause serious trouble if a vehicle onto which dangerous goods are loaded is involved in an accident. This form of transport is governed by a complex system of regulatory sources. The presence of an extremely fragmentary discipline raises the problem of analysing a legislative system composed of several layers. In this regard, many legal problems may arise. Firstly, it is necessary to understand the nature of liability deriving from the transport of dangerous goods by road and with whom it lies. On this point, it should be established whether it is a form of strict liability based on the business being operated or a professional kind of liability.
