Florida Truck Accident Lawyers
Truck accidents are on the rise. This is largely because the number of trucks on the road has drastically increased in the last 10 years...by about 2 million trucks. And the more trucks on the road, the greater the risk of a trucking accident. Actually, Florida comes in third for the highest number of casualties in the United States of America as a result of trucking accidents.
Some common types of Florida trucking accidents include a truck rear-ending a car or other vehicle. Our highways are often over-crowded and many times a truck driver has difficulty stopping due to being cut off by another driver, brake failure, or miscalculation of a safe stopping distance. Another common type of trucking accidents is a truck side-swiping another vehicle. This happens quite often during a lane change, especially if a car is trying to speed up to get in front of a large truck. It is also common for a truck to jack-knife during a sudden stop. This is when the truck skids and the trailer slides forward and the tractor and trailer are bent into a v-shape, or more accurately, the shape of a pocket knife. Also common is trucks rolling over. As with SUV's, they have a high center of gravity and can flip quite easily, especially on a curve. Other common types of truck accidents include brake failure on a downward slope, accidents that result from a truck losing its load, and fire or explosions resulting from a malfunction of a truck that carries flammable cargo.
