Florida Commercial Truck Accident Attorneys: Fighting for Maximum Compensation
Commercial truck collisions cause some of the most severe injuries on Florida roadways. Because a fully loaded semi-truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds—making it up to 20 times heavier than a standard passenger vehicle—impacts often lead to catastrophic harm, long-term disability, or wrongful death.
Navigating a commercial vehicle claim is complex. It involves federal safety regulations, corporate legal defense teams, and multiple liable parties.
At Reinfeld Cabrera Tison, our personal injury attorneys operate offices in Coral Springs and Fort Lauderdale, fighting aggressively for truck accident victims across Broward County and South Florida.
Key Takeaways: Florida Commercial Truck Claims
- Multiple Liable Parties: Liability can extend beyond the driver to trucking fleets, cargo loaders, maintenance contractors, or parts manufacturers.
- 2-Year Deadline: Florida law enforces a strict two-year statute of limitations to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
- 51% Comparative Fault Bar: If an insurer proves you were more than 50% at fault for the crash, you cannot recover any financial compensation.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents in South Florida
Trucking companies and drivers are held to strict safety standards. When they rush or cut corners to meet deadlines, devastating crashes happen.
Our legal team investigates truck crashes across South Florida to uncover critical safety violations:
- Driver Fatigue & Exhaustion: Violating federal Hours of Service (HOS) rest rules.
- Inadequate Maintenance: Operating with failing brakes, worn tires, or steering defects.
- Distracted Driving: Texting, using GPS, or checking dispatch devices while driving.
- Overloaded or Unbalanced Cargo: Exceeding federal weight limits, causing jackknifes or rollovers.
- Driver Error & Recklessness: Speeding, unsafe lane changes, or failing to yield.
- Technical Malfunctions: Defective parts or sudden mechanical failures.
- Adverse Weather Failure: Driving at unsafe speeds during heavy rain or slick road conditions.
