Truck Accidents

Florida Lawyers for Trucking Accident Victims

A serious injury hurts just as bad whether you were hit by a car, a bus or an 18-wheeler. However, the law treats trucking accidents differently than other types of accidents.

In order to recover the maximum amount of financial compensation for damages sustained in a trucking accident, it’s important to select an attorney who is familiar with state and federal trucking regulations.

Lawyers who don’t understand the trucking industry can leave money on the table instead of in their client’s pocket.

At Finebloom and Haenel, P.A., we know our way around trucking accident claims.

Whether you were rear ended in a parking lot by a delivery truck or involved in a big rig wreck on the Interstate, we can help. We represent clients throughout the state of Florida.

Causes of Trucking Accidents

Our trucking accident attorneys will investigate the cause of the crash, including:

  • DUI drunk driving
  • Driving under the influence of drugs
  • Driver fatigue
  • Improper loading
  • Improper truck maintenance
  • Speeding
  • Failure to signal or yield
  • Improper lane change
  • Reckless driving
  • Defective tires or brakes
  • Unlicensed driver

Building the Case

Our team of investigators will promptly visit the scene of the truck crash to gather evidence. We will interview witnesses, measure skid marks and photograph the scene and the vehicles involved. We will obtain the driver’s logbooks and data from the truck’s black box recorder.

Next we will identify all possible sources of financial compensation, including the truck driver, the owner of the tractor, the owner of the trailer, the maintenance shop, the warehouse that loaded it and the manufacturer of any defective products.

Maximizing Compensation

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulates everything from how long a truck driver can spend behind the wheel to what types of safety equipment a truck is required to carry. We will analyze your case to determine whether there were any violations of FMCSA regulations. If so, we will pursue punitive damages in addition to compensation for your medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages or income, and property damage.
