Helping Victims Of Florida Trucking Accidents

Accidents involving large commercial trucks account for an inordinately large number of fatalities and serious injuries on American roads and highways. For example, trucking accidents represent a mere 7 percent of all miles driven in the U.S., yet account for some 12 percent of traffic fatalities. Little wonder, then, that drivers and passengers in cars suffer the vast majority of injuries when they collide with trucks. Approximately 98 percent of the people killed in such accidents were in the car, not the truck.

It is important for you to know that there are significant differences between cases involving Florida large truck accidents and those involving other motor vehicle collisions. Interstate trucking is governed by both Florida and Federal motor carrier safety regulations. Many lawyers are not familiar with these regulations, let alone issues such as trucking company business and insurance practices, and the increased difficulty of recovering key documents in such cases.
