Car and Truck Accident Attorney in Florida

Every year, thousands of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians are injured on Florida roadways. Car and truck accidents can lead to severe injuries, costly medical bills, loss of income, and long-term disability. When another driver’s negligence causes harm, victims have the right to pursue financial compensation.

Common Causes of Car and Truck Accidents

Many accidents are preventable and occur due to careless or reckless behavior. Common causes include:

  • Distracted driving, including texting or using a phone
  • Speeding or aggressive driving
  • Driving under the influence (DUIs)
  • Reckless lane changes or failure to yield
  • Fatigue, especially with long-distance truck drivers
  • Defective vehicle parts or improper vehicle maintenance
  • Hazardous road or weather conditions

Injuries Often Resulting From Car & Truck Crashes

Collision injuries can range from mild to life-threatening. Some of the most common include:

  • Head, neck, and spinal injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Burns, lacerations, and internal organ damage
  • Whiplash and chronic pain
  • Wrongful death in severe collisions

Truck Accidents: Why They Are More Complex

Accidents involving commercial trucks can be devastating due to their size and weight. Truck accident claims are often more complicated because they may involve multiple parties such as:

  • The truck driver
  • The trucking company
  • Cargo loading companies
  • Maintenance and repair contractors
  • Manufacturers of defective truck parts

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Victims of car and truck accidents may be eligible to pursue compensation for:

  • Medical bills and ongoing treatment
  • Lost wages and reduced earning ability
  • Property damage and vehicle repairs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
