Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Broker Liability The Supreme Court has ruled that brokers may be held liable for employing an unsafe carrier involved in an accident. However, this does not imply that brokers are automatically liable whenever an accident happens. Plaintiffs are still required to demonstrate ordinary negligence under state law, which means they must prove that the broker knew or should have known that the carrier they hired posed a safety risk.
