Fort Lauderdale Truck Accident Lawyer

Truck, Big Rig and 18-Wheeler Accidents

When a truck gets into an accident with a car or motorcycle, the trucker has less to fear from injury than from liability. Large commercial trucks can weigh up to 40 tons and when they collide into a smaller vehicle, they can cause severe injury or even death to innocent people. Truck drivers and trucking companies have adjusted to this liability as a fact of life and are required by law to carry larger insurance coverage and apply strict safety measures. Despite the well-known dangers involved with long-haul trucking, many unscrupulous drivers violate regulations and drive longer than the allowable limits, often under the influence of stimulants or other drugs. They do this to meet demands for on-time delivery and to maximize profits. Sometimes drivers run their rigs on insufficiently maintained brakes and other equipment, which may save money in the short term , but often costs innocent lives.

Truck accidents can involve tractor trailers, 18 wheelers, and semi trucks . Truck rollovers are some of the most dangerous of truck accidents.
