Truck Accidents

If you or a family member has been hurt in a truck accident, we can help.

The occurrence of trucking accidents in the U.S. is alarming. The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) releases trucking accident data, which is then published by many organizations as truck accident statistics. The roads of the United States, including Florida, are the home to over 140,473 fatal and non-fatal truck accidents every year. Of these total truck accidents, a high number end in fatalities, with statistics putting the number of deaths due to truck accidents at about 5,000 each year. Our Florida trial attorneys represent individuals, and families of individuals, who have been seriously hurt or killed in truck accidents. These accidents, which involve enormous tractor trailers ("18 wheelers") are usually the most serious cases we see.

Florida truck accident litigation involves claims against negligent truckers and the trucking companies who hire them as employees or independent contractors. Under the laws of Florida and most states, a driver of a large truck is considered to have an even greater standard of care than other drivers, because of the injuries that their large trucks can cause. Collisions caused by a truck’s failure, faulty inspection and maintenance, or a truck driver’s negligence, can lead to catastrophic injuries.

Truck drivers break federal laws driving:

while tired,
in excess of the amount of hours they are permitted by federal law to drive,
with overloaded or oversized trucks,
improperly maintained trucks,
with inability to see at night
too close behind cars
intoxicated.

There are three chief reasons why trucking accidents are so dangerous: size, speed and driver fatigue. A fully loaded truck is a incredibly large and heavy piece of machinery. When you put something that heavy on South Florida roads at speeds topping 60 miles an hour, you get a potentially very dangerous situation, with a massive motor vehicle that can run over almost anything in its path. If you add the growing problem of driver fatigue and truck drivers’ being under constant pressure to move cargo – there can be deadly consequences.

To recover the cost of medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma, truck victims should contact an experienced truck accident lawyer as soon as possible. At Grossman Attorneys at Law, our lawyers swiftly consult experts such as accident reconstruction experts to gather facts and begin a thorough and far-reaching investigation. Our truck accident attorneys speak with and take depositions from eye-witnesses and company employees. Once our investigation of the trucking accident is complete, we head into settlement negotiations or to trial with evidence on our side.

With over 32 years of combined legal experience, our trucking accident attorneys know how to prepare and win cases. Today, with the ever-changing advancements in technology, there is a lot we can learn from analyzing minute details from a truck accident. Our truck accident trial attorneys and expert accident reconstructionists make use of the following types of informational tools to properly forge our client's cases:

truck maintenance records,
driving records,
driving log books,
driver employee records and drug test results,
Department of Transportation (DOT) records,
data on weather records,
records on the truck's onboard computer (black box).

Our truck accident lawyers work on a contingent fee basis, which means that there is never a fee that you have to pay unless we successfully resolve your truck accident case.
