Orlando, Florida: Attorneys for Trucking Accident Victims
When a passenger car collides with a commercial trucking tractor-trailer, the accident will almost always cause serious — if not fatal — injuries for people in the passenger vehicle.
In the aftermath of a trucking accident, your first priority should be to seek complete and high-quality medical care. Your health and recovery are most important.
You should, however, also get legal help as soon as possible after a trucking accident. The trucking company will encourage you to accept an immediate settlement, which may be tempting.
Do not accept any settlement from any insurance company after a trucking accident — before you consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer.

A Success Story:
Satisfactory Settlement in a Truck Accident Case
Our client hurt his back when a dump truck rear-ended his passenger car and he required major back surgery to repair the damage.
The trucking company fought against our demand, arguing that our client had preexisting back problems that caused the postaccident injury.
We used expert medical testimony to show that our client would not have re-injured his back if the accident had not occurred.
The trucking company settled with our client for a confidential amount in excess of $500,000.
Trucking Accident Cases Are Unique: Hire a Lawyer Who Knows How To Manage These Cases
Trucking accident cases are unique because they are governed by multiple federal laws and regulations. If your lawyer does not understand the way these regulations work — and how they can be used to prove your case — you risk being forced to accept a settlement offer for less than your case is actually worth.
Some of the issues governed by these federal laws include:
- Driver fatigue
- Speeding and reckless driving
- Proper securing of cargo
