Little Haiti Truck Accident Victims

A fully loaded large commercial truck can weigh up to 36 tons. In comparison, the average weight of a car is 3,000 pounds. The difference in weight and size of a large truck compared with a passenger vehicle is significant. Accidents involving cars and trucks can cause significant bodily damage and may even result in death. Common injuries in a truck accident include brain damage, spinal cord damage, broken bones, and burns, all of which may leave victims with high medical bills.

Complex Nature of Large Truck Accidents

Accidents involving large semi-tractor trailers, construction vehicles, and commercial trucks bring a different set of issues to the table. Many times, the trucks are company-owned and are driven by truck drivers who may be employees or contractors. In some cases, the trucks may be leased from another company or maintained by a third party, potentially adding to the list of parties responsible. With multiple parties involved, this creates a complex case for accidents involving large trucks. Identifying all parties, as well as determining their level of responsibility, brings added complexity.

Our Little Haiti truck accident lawyers understand this process and will take the time to investigate the many complexities of a truck accident case including:

  • Responsible parties
  • Truck driver negligence
  • Mechanical or maintenance failures
  • Ownership issues
  • Insurance coverage

Accidents involving large commercial trucks are complex cases. You don’t need to figure these out yourself. If you have been injured as the result of a truck accident, give our Little Haiti truck accident lawyers a call today at (305) 371-6000. We listen. We are here. We can help.
