Semi-Truck and Trucking Accidents

A semi-truck accident claim allows victims to seek compensation for injuries caused by negligence from a truck driver, trucking company, or related parties. Given the size and weight of commercial trucks, these accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. Florida law mandates strict federal and state regulations for commercial trucks, including limits on driving hours, vehicle maintenance, and cargo safety.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Filing a claim enables accident victims to recover compensation for medical costs, ongoing care, lost income, and other losses resulting from the accident. These claims are critical for victims facing life-changing injuries or families dealing with the loss of a loved one due to a trucking accident.
• Consequences Without Representation: Trucking companies and their insurance companies often have extensive legal resources aimed at minimizing payouts or shifting blame. Attempting to negotiate without an attorney can lead to low settlements or outright claim denials. In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a trucking accident claim is generally four years, but starting early is essential due to the complexities involved in gathering evidence from trucking companies.
