Injured in a Truck Accident in Florida?
Truck accidents are different from ordinary car crashes.
​
Commercial trucks can weigh 20 to 30 times more than passenger vehicles. When a collision occurs, the injuries are often catastrophic. These cases also involve powerful trucking companies, commercial insurers, and federal safety regulations.
​
If you were injured in a trucking accident anywhere in Florida, you need experienced trial counsel prepared to handle complex, high-stakes litigation.
​
Schwartz Injury Law represents victims of serious truck accidents throughout the State of Florida. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complex
Unlike a typical car accident, a trucking crash may involve multiple liable parties, including:
​
-
The truck driver
-
The trucking company
-
A freight broker
-
A maintenance contractor
-
A cargo loading company
-
The truck manufacturer
In addition, commercial carriers are governed by federal regulations under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are often caused by preventable violations and negligence, including:
​
-
Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
-
Distracted driving
-
Speeding
-
Improper lane changes
-
Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
-
Mechanical failures
-
Inadequate driver training
-
Poor truck maintenance
Commercial carriers are required to follow strict safety standards. When they fail to do so, the consequences can be devastating.
The Importance of Immediate Evidence Preservation
Trucking companies deploy response teams quickly after serious crashes. Their goal is to protect the company and minimize liability.
​
Critical evidence in truck accident cases may include:
​
-
Electronic Control Module (ECM) (also known as “black box”) data
-
Driver qualification files
-
Maintenance records
-
Dashcam footage
-
Drug and alcohol testing results
-
Dispatch communications
Without swift legal action, this evidence can be lost, altered, or destroyed.
Schwartz Injury Law acts quickly to preserve and secure critical records to protect your rights.
Serious Injuries in Truck Accidents
Due to the size and force involved, truck accidents frequently result in catastrophic injuries such as:
​
-
Traumatic brain injuries
-
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
-
Severe orthopedic trauma
-
Internal organ damage
-
Crush injuries
-
Amputations
-
Permanent disability
-
Wrongful death
These injuries often require long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and significant financial support.
Our responsibility is to pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of these injuries.
What Compensation May Be Available?
Truck accident victims may be entitled to compensation for:
​
-
Medical expenses (past and future)
-
Long-term care and rehabilitation
-
Lost income
-
Loss of earning capacity
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional distress
-
Permanent disability
-
Wrongful death damages
Because trucking companies carry substantial insurance policies, these cases can involve significant financial exposure — which is why carriers defend them aggressively.
Preparation and strategy matter.
