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:

1. driver fatigue
2. trucker fails to take required rest breaks
3. trucker’s logbook records are not truthful
4. poor maintenance or defective equipment
5. diving at excessive speed
6. unfamiliarity with truck route
7. texting with driving
8. using GPS
9. sing a cell phone
10. performing illegal maneuvers
11. poor training
12. failure to secure heavy loads
13. loading trucks beyond maximum capacity
14. aggressive driving
15. car driving in truck's blind spot
16. 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
17. changing lanes abruptly
18. tailgating
19. driver inattention
20. improper turn
21. 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 accident or other car-truck accident.

Experienced Lawyer to Help You Fight Trucking Companies

Personal injury cases against commercial truck owners involve state and federal laws that are different than in car accidents. 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.

A lawyer can help you find out what your options are in your trucking accident case. Our firm offers free consultations and works on a contingency fee basis. We do not charge you for costs or fees unless we make a successful recovery for you.
