Florida Truck Accident Injury Attorneys

Truck Accident Injuries

What are common factors that lead to truck accident injuries?

  • Driver negligence (e.g. driver was distracted on the cell phone, intoxicated, impaired by drugs such as methamphetamines, generally careless and inattentive, negligent in not getting his truck tuned up per schedule, ignored other safety or legal requirements)
  • Failure of a truck's safety systems, such as lights, reflectors, steering system
  • Overloaded or under loaded trailer
  • Inexperienced driver
  • Hazardous road conditions (such as inclement weather, poor signage, etc.)
  • Overly aggressive or fast driving
  • Poor visibility

Given the size differential between most trucks and most autos, car drivers and their passengers typically receive the brunt of the damage. Injuries can include lacerations, contusions, paralysis, brain damage, broken bones, soft tissue injuries, organ damage, spinal injuries, and even damage to the immune system. Often, the nature and severity of the injuries sustained are determined by:

  • the speeds of the vehicles involved
  • the angle of impact
  • the safety features available to drivers and passengers (e.g. airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, etc.)
  • the time it takes for medical help to arrive
  • the general health of the accident victims prior to the collision

Given how many variables can be at play in truck injury accidents, victims usually need solid representation to collect money for surgeries, medical bills, medications, therapy, general pain and suffering, property damage, and lost current and future wages.
