Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Truck accident claims are far more complex than regular car accident cases because they often involve:
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR)
- Black box (electronic logging device) data
- Commercial insurance carriers with aggressive defense teams
- Multiple potentially responsible parties
- Catastrophic injuries requiring long-term care
You need a lawyer who knows how to investigate trucking operations, challenge insurance tactics, and pursue full compensation from every responsible party.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
We represent victims of trucking accidents caused by:
- Driver fatigue (hours of service violations)
- Distracted driving (cell phone use, GPS)
- Speeding or aggressive lane changes
- Substance abuse (alcohol or drugs)
- Improper cargo loading or securement
- Brake or tire failures
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Inadequate driver training and supervision
Many truck crashes result from avoidable safety failures — and our investigations uncover the real causes.
Potentially Liable Parties in Truck Accident Cases
Truck crash liability often extends beyond just the driver. Parties who may share responsibility include:
- Truck drivers
- Trucking companies (carriers)
- Shippers and cargo loaders
- Vehicle manufacturers (if equipment defects contributed)
- Maintenance and repair contractors
We pursue claims against all responsible parties to maximize your potential recovery.

Our Client-Friendly Fee Structure
Large trucking settlements and verdicts often lead traditional firms to charge maximum contingency fees. We do it differently:
- Lower Standard Contingency Fee — intentionally set below many typical rates
- Sliding Fee Scale — as your recovery increases, our fee percentage may decrease
- Lower Fee Guarantee — if you have a signed contingency agreement with another Florida personal injury lawyer, we’ll beat it
You shouldn’t lose an unfair share of your recovery to attorney fees.

FAQs – Jacksonville Truck Accident Claims
Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Yes. Trucking companies can be held liable for their drivers' negligence and for their own negligent hiring, training, and supervision practices.
We can still pursue your claim locally. Many trucking companies operate nationally but are subject to Florida laws if the crash occurred here.
There is no upfront cost. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation — and our rates are lower than many traditional firms.
