Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different
Truck accidents are far more complex than ordinary car crashes. They often involve:
- Larger insurance policies and more aggressive defense teams
- Multiple parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loader, vehicle manufacturer)
- Federal and state trucking regulations
- Catastrophic injuries and extensive medical bills
- Higher overall case values — and higher stakes
You need a lawyer who understands how to navigate these complexities — and who knows how to fight for full, fair compensation.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
We handle truck crash cases involving:
- Driver fatigue (violations of Hours of Service rules)
- Distracted driving (texting, navigation device use)
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Improper cargo loading or securement
- Mechanical failure (brakes, tires, lights)
- Negligent hiring, training, or supervision by trucking companies
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Poor vehicle maintenance
- Failure to check blind spots when changing lanes
Truck accidents are often the result of systemic safety failures — not just momentary driver mistakes. We dig deep to uncover every contributing factor.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?
Depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may share legal responsibility, including:
- The truck driver
- The trucking company (carrier)
- The cargo loading company
- Truck manufacturers or maintenance companies
- Third-party contractors
Identifying all responsible parties is crucial to maximizing available insurance coverage and increasing your potential recovery.
We conduct thorough investigations, review maintenance records, analyze black box data (electronic logging devices), and hire trucking experts when necessary.

FAQs – Orlando Truck Accident Cases
Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Usually, the trucking company’s insurance covers damages — but we investigate all possible sources of recovery, including the driver, employer, and other liable parties.
Under Florida’s modified comparative fault law, you may still recover damages if you were less than 51% at fault. Your recovery would be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
There’s no upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee basis — and our rates are designed to be lower and more client-friendly than traditional percentages.
