Miami Truck Accident Lawyers

Maximize Compensation For Your Truck Accident Or Commercial Vehicle Injuries

Semi trucks, 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles significantly outweigh passenger vehicles. When truck drivers and commercial drivers are fatigued, distracted or otherwise negligent while driving, the potential for a devastating wreck increases dramatically. This is one reason tractor-trailers and other large trucks are regulated by the federal government and the state of Florida.

Truck accidents are among the most devastating types of motor vehicle collisions, often resulting in severe injuries, property damage, and even fatalities. Trucking companies, other commercial enterprises and their insurance companies can be held financially accountable for the injuries that you or a loved one suffered in a truck accident. But to secure your rightful compensation, you will need powerful legal representation to counter the defense’s formidable resources and tactics.

At Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt, P.A., our Miami truck accident lawyers are committed to helping victims secure the compensation they deserve. With decades of experience handling complex personal injury cases, we understand the unique challenges posed by commercial vehicle accidents and are here to guide you through the legal process.

Serious Injuries From A Collision With A Truck?

Collisions involving large commercial trucks, such as semis or tractor-trailers, can cause catastrophic damage due to the size and weight of these vehicles. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken bones
• Internal organ damage
• Severe lacerations and burns

In addition to physical injuries, victims often face emotional trauma and financial burdens from medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care needs.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, many of which involve negligence. Common causes of trucking accidents in Floida include:

• Driver Fatigue: Long hours on the road can lead to exhaustion and reduced reaction times.
• Distracted Driving: Using a phone, eating, or other distractions can impair a driver’s focus.
• Improper Maintenance: Faulty brakes, worn tires, or other mechanical issues can lead to accidents.
• Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Cargo: Uneven or excessive loads can make trucks difficult to control.
• Reckless Driving: Speeding, tailgating, or aggressive maneuvers can endanger others on the road.
• Substance Abuse: Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a significant risk factor.

Our team conducts thorough investigations to determine the root cause of the accident and identify all liable parties.
