If you or a family member has been hurt in a truck accident, we can help.
The occurrence of trucking accidents in the U.S. is alarming. The United States Department of Transportationo (USDOT) releases trucking accident data, which is then published by many organizations as truck accident statistics. The roads of the United States, including Florida, are the home to over 140,473 fatal and non-fatal truck accidents every year. Of these total truck accidents, a high number end in fatalities, with statistics putting the number of deaths due to truck accidents at about 5,000 each year. Our Florida trial attorneys represent individuals, and families of individuals, who have been seriously hurt or killed in truck accidents. These accidents, which involve enormous tractor trailers ("18 wheelers") are usually the most serious cases we see.
Truck drivers break federal laws driving:
- while tired,
- in excess of the amount of hours they are permitted by federal law to drive,
- with overloaded or oversized trucks,
- improperly maintained trucks,
- with inability to see at night
- too close behind cars
- intoxicated.
There are three chief reasons why trucking accidents are so dangerous: size, speed and driver fatigue. A fully loaded truck is a incredibly large and heavy piece of machinery. When you put something that heavy on South Florida roads at speeds topping 60 miles an hour, you get a potentially very dangerous situation, with a massive motor vehicle that can run over almost anything in its path. If you add the growing problem of driver fatigue and truck drivers’ being under constant pressure to move cargo – there can be deadly consequences.
