Trucking Accidents
Of all motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents are the most devastating, and lead to the highest number of deaths each year. When smaller vehicles collide with large trucks, four wheelers, or big rigs, the end result is usually fatal. What is more disheartening is the fact that most truck accidents are caused by truck driver or truck company negligence. Often times, truck accidents occur because:
- the truck driver was fatigued
- the truck driver worked an illegal shift
- the truck is overloaded
- the truck company failed to inspect the truck’s tires
- the truck company failed to inspect the truck’s brakes
- the truck company failed to install blind spot mirrors
- the driver was speeding
- the driver did not adhere to traffic laws
People who are lucky enough to survive a truck accident rarely escape uninjured. Truck accidents victims are likely to sustain catastrophic injuries to the head, neck, brain, and spinal cord. Injuries of this nature are very traumatic, physically debilitating, and demand continual medical treatment. Without proper medical attention, truck accident victims may not recover properly, and their conditions may become worse over time.
Truck Accidents – Personal Injury Law
In the state of Florida, any person who sustains a serious injury during a truck accident that resulted from negligence or recklessness may be entitled to monetary compensation for his/her medical expenses, lost wages, lost income earning potential, lost quality of life, and pain and suffering.
