Trucking Negligence

Commercial trucks are much heavier than other vehicles, and are more difficult to drive. Many trucking accidents involve negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the truck driver or trucking company:

• driver fatigue
• trucker fails to take required rest breaks
• trucker’s logbook records are not truthful
• poor maintenance or defective equipment
• speeding
• unfamiliarity with truck route
• texting with driving
• using GPS
• talking on cell phone
• poor training
• failure to secure heavy loads
• loading trucks beyond maximum capacity
• aggressive driving
• car driving in truck's blind spot
• • while some trucks are equipped with devices to compensate for the blind spot and alert the truck driver, many trucking companies have chosen not to purchase such safety equipment
    changing lanes abruptly
• tailgating
• driver inattention
• improper turn
• • some tractor trailer accidents are caused by the truck making or attempting to make too wide a turn for the road condition and traffic conditions

Trucking company negligence can have devastating effects. Injuries in trucking accidents can include brain injury or spinal cord injury. Trial attorney David Harris has handled many cases of serious personal injury due to a semi truck crash or other trucking accident.

Experienced Lawyer to Help You Fight Trucking Companies

Trucking companies are heavily regulated by the Federal Motor Safety Administration and Florida's Department of Transportation, Office of Motor Carrier Compliance. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will hold drivers and trucking companies who negligently or willfully break federal law accountable for their actions.
