Accidents involving commercial trucks—whether it’s a delivery van, semi-truck, or construction vehicle—are among the most dangerous on Miami’s roads. Due to their size and weight, trucks can cause catastrophic injuries, extensive property damage, and even death.

At Iscoe Law, we’ve helped countless injury victims across South Florida get justice after being hit by commercial vehicles. If you or a loved one was involved in a truck crash, acting fast and choosing the right legal team can make all the difference.

Why Truck Accidents Are So Dangerous

Miami’s streets are packed with commercial traffic:

• Amazon and FedEx delivery vans
• Freight trucks on I-95 and the Palmetto Expressway
• Construction vehicles in rapidly developing areas like Doral and Brickell
• Food service trucks in downtown zones

When a 40,000-pound vehicle hits a passenger car or pedestrian, the results are often devastating. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Broken bones or crush injuries
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Fatal injuries

What Makes Truck Accidents Legally Different?

Unlike a standard car accident, truck crashes involve:

• Multiple liable parties (driver, employer, vehicle owner, or third-party maintenance)
• Federal trucking regulations and safety requirements
• Black box data and mandatory logbooks
• Higher insurance policy limits
• Commercial driver training standards and violations

Truck companies often deploy teams of lawyers and adjusters within hours of a crash to protect their interests. That’s why hiring an experienced Miami truck accident lawyer like Iscoe Law is essential—you need someone who will fight for you just as aggressively.

Steps to Take After a Truck Accident in Miami

• Call 911 Immediately
  Request medical help and police documentation, even if your injuries seem minor.
• Seek Medical Attention
  Truck accident injuries often worsen over time. Early documentation is key.
• Gather Evidence (If You Can)
  Take photos of the scene, the truck’s license plate, company name, skid marks, and road conditions.
• Do Not Speak to the Trucking Company’s Insurer
  They will try to downplay your injuries or shift blame. Refer all calls to your attorney.
• Contact Iscoe Law
  Our team will preserve evidence, obtain the truck’s black box data, and investigate driver history immediately.
