Florida Truck Accident Lawyers

Truck accidents in Florida are a frightening subject, especially when a large truck is involved in an accident with a small vehicle. Considering the fact that a large truck, such as an 18 wheeler, can be more than 15 times the size of a regular vehicle, it stands to reason that serious injuries and fatalities occur more frequently than with a vehicle-against-vehicle accident. This is probably why many people are uncomfortable driving behind or around large trucks. Also, truck drivers have a bad reputation with the American Public. Although the trucking industry has made great strides in controlling truck driver fatigue and drug usage, the fact is that trucking accidents still occur at an alarming rate every year.

There are many possible reasons for the high number of truck accidents that exist in this country today. The reaction time of a large commercial vehicle is much slower than the average car. Drivers of other vehicles often dart in front of a large truck, forgetting that the braking systems on the large truck are completely different that of a regular vehicle. And although the federal government regulates the operating hours that a truck driver can work, oftentimes tight shipping deadlines by the trucking company do not permit the driver to take the rest periods that are required by law. Sometimes the truck driver himself is to blame for the accident, by driving under the influence, or simply chronic fatigue. Whatever the case, if you have been involved in a truck accident, it is most likely that there is negligence involved on someone elses' part.
