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 Law and allow our experience to go to work for you.
