Truck Accident Attorney
Miami Truck Accident Lawyers
A fully loaded semi-truck can weigh 20 to 30 times more than a passenger car. When trucking companies or their drivers cut corners, the injuries are often catastrophic — and the legal fight is more complex than a typical car accident case.
Trucking companies send their own investigators to the scene within hours of a crash. The sooner you contact an attorney, the more evidence we can preserve on your behalf.
Why Truck Cases Are Different
More Parties, More Regulations
Truck accident claims are governed by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations covering driver hours-of-service, vehicle maintenance, and cargo loading. Liability can extend beyond the driver to the trucking company, a maintenance contractor, or even the manufacturer of a defective part.
Modern trucks also carry electronic logging devices (ELDs) and “black box” data recorders that can reveal exactly what happened in the moments before a crash — but that data can be overwritten or destroyed if it is not preserved quickly.
Common Causes
What Causes Truck
Accidents
Trucking companies are required to hire, train, and supervise drivers responsibly. When they cut corners, victims pay the price.
Driver Fatigue
Drivers pushed past legal hours-of-service limits to meet delivery deadlines.
Improper Cargo Loading
Overloaded or unbalanced cargo that causes rollovers and jackknife accidents.
Poor Maintenance
Worn brakes, tires, or steering components that a properly maintained truck would not have.
Distracted Driving
Phone use, navigation systems, or fatigue behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound vehicle.
Impaired Driving
Drivers operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including prescription medication.
Speeding & Tailgating
Excessive speed or following too closely, leaving no margin for error in an emergency.

Truck Accident Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the facts, liability may fall on the truck driver, the trucking company, a leasing company, a cargo loading company, or a parts manufacturer.
Most commercial trucks carry an electronic control module that records speed, braking, and engine data in the moments before a crash. This data is often critical evidence — and can be lost if not preserved quickly.
Truck accident injuries tend to be more severe due to the size and weight differential, and commercial trucking policies typically carry much higher insurance limits than personal auto policies.
