Why Truck Accident Claims Are Complex
Large commercial trucks (like 18-wheelers, delivery trucks, and freight carriers) are heavily regulated — and accidents often involve:
- Multiple liable parties (driver, employer, maintenance contractors)
- Federal and state trucking regulations (FMCSA violations)
- Commercial insurance policies with millions in coverage
- Catastrophic injuries requiring long-term care
- Black box data, maintenance logs, and safety violations
These cases require prompt action, specialized knowledge, and aggressive representation — not just basic car accident handling.

Common Causes of Truck Crashes
We handle trucking accident claims caused by:
- Driver fatigue (violating mandatory rest breaks)
- Distracted driving (phone use, GPS navigation)
- Speeding or reckless lane changes
- Driving under the influence (alcohol or drugs)
- Poorly loaded or unsecured cargo
- Mechanical failure (brakes, tires, steering systems)
- Inadequate maintenance or inspections
- Negligent hiring, training, or supervision by trucking companies
Truck accidents are often the result of preventable safety failures. We work to uncover every contributing factor — and hold the right parties accountable.
Who May Be Liable in a Truck Accident?
Truck crashes often involve multiple layers of liability, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company (employer or contractor)
- Vehicle maintenance or repair companies
- Cargo loading companies
- Truck manufacturers (if equipment defects contributed)
Our investigation is thorough — from black box downloads to driver qualification file reviews — ensuring that no liable party is missed.
Cases We Take
Types of Injuries in Truck Accidents
Due to their size and weight, trucks cause some of the most devastating accident injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Multiple fractures and orthopedic trauma
- Crush injuries and amputations
- Severe burns and scarring
- Organ damage and internal bleeding
- Wrongful death
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lifelong care — all of which must be properly documented for your claim.
Compensation You May Be Entitled To
In a Miami truck accident case, you may be able to recover damages for:
- Emergency medical care and hospitalization
- Future medical needs and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life

We work with medical experts, economists, and accident reconstructionists to fully calculate and support your claim for damages.
Our Lower Fee Model: Helping You Keep More
Truck accident cases often involve larger settlements and verdicts — and many firms charge maximum contingency percentages.
At Discount Injury & Accident Attorneys, we do it differently:
- Lower Standard Contingency Fees — a reduced base percentage
- Sliding Fee Scale — larger recoveries may qualify for lower fee percentages
- Lower Fee Guarantee — if you’ve signed with another Florida firm, we’ll beat their signed contingency fee agreement
