Truck Accidents
The trucking industry plays a vital
role in the economy of this country, making it possible
to transport food, drink, clothing, medicine, and virtually
all other consumer goods all across the United States.
Accordingly, trucking companies are required to follow
federal regulations regarding a number of concerns,
including employee screening and background checks,
truck weights and time drivers spend on the road. Truck
drivers and truck manufacturers must share in the responsibility
of keeping our highways safe. Every year, Florida residents
sustain serious injuries or lose loved ones as the result
of a commercial trucking accident. There are a number
of factors that can contribute to a trucking accident.
Dangerous road conditions, improper loading, defective
truck parts, bad brakes, and truck driver negligence
are only a few of the possible causes of serious truck
accidents in Florida. A truck driver who gets paid by
the mile may be fatigued or using drugs to stay awake.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a
trucking accident, you may be dealing with the overwhelming
burden of medical treatment, household and medical bills,
and concerns about lost wages and the loss of your car
at a time when you need to focus on rebuilding your
life. Within days or possibly even hours of the crash,
you may be approached by a representative of the trucking
or insurance company and asked to make a statement,
sign papers, or accept a settlement offer. It is vital
that you do not talk to any trucking company or insurance
investigator, sign any papers, or accept a settlement
before getting the advice of a lawyer with experience
in trucking accident claims in order to protect your
rights to fair compensation. It is important to know
that trucking and insurance companies have a team of
adjusters, investigators and attorneys whose goal is
to minimize the amount of money they pay to accident
victims. Many injuries caused by trucking accidents
have long-term consequences they simply do not account
for. Contact I
