Understanding Trucking Accidents in Florida Law
What are Trucking Accidents?
Trucking accidents are legally complex because they may involve not just the truck driver, but also trucking companies, vehicle owners, cargo loaders, and insurance carriers. Federal and state regulations impose strict rules on the trucking industry regarding driver hours, vehicle maintenance, and cargo securement. Violations of these regulations can play a critical role in determining fault and liability.
Although Florida operates under a “no-fault” system, trucking accident claims can quickly exceed Personal Injury Protection (PIP) limits because of the seriousness of injuries involved. While PIP covers initial medical expenses regardless of fault, victims may pursue additional compensation from the at-fault parties when injuries meet Florida’s legal threshold for significant or permanent harm. This can include damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, and future medical care.
Understanding the unique legal landscape surrounding trucking accidents is essential to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
Why You Need an Experienced Trucking Accident Attorney in Florida
While it might seem straightforward to file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company after a trucking accident, the reality is often far more complex. Trucking companies and their insurers are focused on protecting their bottom line, not on fully compensating you for your injuries and losses. They may quickly offer a settlement that appears fair but often falls short of covering the full scope of your medical expenses, lost income, and long-term impacts. This is where an experienced trucking accident attorney can make all the difference.
