Florida Trucking Accident Attorneys: Preparing Families for the Future
Tragic and preventable, trucking accidents cause life-changing injuries that are often fatal. A small passenger vehicle is simply no match for the sheer mass of a semi truck. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) outline strict rules that — if followed — should prevent almost all trucking accidents from ever occurring. Many trucking accidents follow from violations of the FMCSRs.
At Leopold Law, our Consumer Justice Attorneys are dedicated to helping the victims of trucking accidents achieve justice after they find themselves pitted against powerful corporate opponents. We represent clients nationwide, and we co-counsel cases throughout Florida and the nation.
If you or any members of your family suffered serious injuries in a trucking accident, we have the experience and resources to help. To meet with one of our attorneys, call 877-515-7955 or contact us online. We do not charge for initial consultations.
Working With Experts — Conducting Thorough Investigations
Trucking accidents tend to be relatively complex in comparison to other types of motor vehicle accidents. Injuries are generally more severe, requiring extensive medical evaluations and treatment. Additionally, we work with experts to reconstruct the accident and to investigate the history of the truck, the trucking company and the truck driver to determine whether a FMCSR violation caused the accident.
In fact, many trucking and tractor-trailer accidents are caused by such violations, including:
- Driver fatigue caused by working over hours
- Driver inattentiveness
- Insufficient maintenance including bad brakes, steering problems or defective tires
- Insufficient driver background checks/hiring incompetent or unqualified drivers
- Improper loading or over-loading of cargo
- Learn more about FMCSRs at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Web site
While trucking accidents are preventable, the damage they cause is often irreversible. We help clients adjust to new lives and futures dealing with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and amputation. We also represent grieving family members whose loved ones were lost in a wrongful death accident. We have represented clients injured while driving, while walking and even while working in road construction crews.
Every aspect of your case will be handled personally by an experienced, motivated attorney who is dedicated to helping you achieve justice. Our knowledge, resources and dedication will help you level the playing field against a powerful corporate opponent like an insurance company or trucking company.
