Holding Negligent Trucking Companies Liable

Due to their massive size and weight, commercial trucks and 18-wheelers are highly regulated by federal and state agencies, such as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), to reduce the risk of trucking accidents and to keep others on the road safe.

The FMCSA enforces hundreds of laws and regulations surrounding the trucking industry. These include regulations for driver safety and training, as well as the duties of trucking companies to ensure maximum safety on the roadways.

Some of the most common regulations include:

  • Hours-of-service regulations to reduce risks associated with tired drivers
  • Weight and load restrictions
  • Adequate and regular vehicle maintenance
  • Driver drug and alcohol testing

When a truck company fails to follow these guidelines, their vehicles and drivers are much more likely to be the cause of a serious accident. If you or a loved one were injured in a truck accident, our dedicated attorneys are standing by to review your case immediately and offer the experienced representation you need to achieve justice.

Florida Truck Accident Statistics

Unfortunately, in Florida, it's not an "if you're in a vehicle accident" but "when you're in a vehicle accident." Driving is a risk that most of us take each and every day, and the consequences of an accident are only heightened when you consider that we share the road with vehicles as light and exposed as motorcycles and bicycles and with vehicles as heavy as 80,000-pound semi-trucks.

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported that in 2017:

  • 30,754 truck accidents occurred that did not result in any serious injuries,
  • 371 accidents involving heavy trucks resulted in non-incapacitating injuries,
  • 126 resulted in 126 incapacitating injuries,
  • And 27 semi-truck accidents resulted in a fatality.

It is clear statistically that truck accidents can easily result in a fatality or serious injury. If you've lost a loved one or been seriously injured in an accident involving a heavy truck, please do not hesitate to contact our experienced team of attorneys.

Why You Need to Hire a Lawyer

After a truck accident occurs, the trucking and insurance companies begin to investigate immediately. Their efforts are geared toward deflecting allegations of negligence and reducing their liability as much as possible. You need an aggressive negotiator who can stand up for your rights against these big-name bullies.

With our collective knowledge of federal trucking regulations and personal injury law, our legal team can work toward identifying the cause of the accident, clearly establishing negligence, and holding trucking companies liable for the damage they cause.
