Turn to a Compassionate Tractor-Trailer Accident Attorney at a Difficult Time

Dozens of people die each year in truck accidents in Florida, involving tractor-trailers, semis, flatbeds and other 18-wheelers. In 2021 alone, large-truck crashes in Florida claimed the lives of 30 drivers and passengers. Each accident is a tragedy that affects the lives of families and loved ones. Many of the deaths could have been prevented if the truck driver and trucking company had focused more on safety.

The immediate families of people who die in accidents caused by careless truck drivers and large trucks have legal rights to seek compensation for their loss. You may file a wrongful death lawsuit against the potentially responsible parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company and in some cases a truck freight shipper. While no amount of money will replace your loved one, a just settlement that recognizes the magnitude of your loss may provide your family financial security and help bring some sense of closure to your family.

An insurance company representing the trucking company or truck driver may offer you a quick settlement to try to limit their legal liability. They are trying to protect their interests, not yours. You should have an experienced negotiator representing your interests. It’s important to talk to a caring Florida truck accident lawyer who will put your interests first.
