    The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that around half a million truck accidents happen every year. What’s more, these accidents cause 12 percent of the total number of vehicular accident deaths each year (amounting to around 5,000 deaths annually). In most cases, the individuals in passenger vehicles suffer much more severe injuries and a higher rate of fatality than truck drivers. 

    If you were injured or lost a loved one due to a trucking accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your damages. These types of claims can be incredibly complex, as there are often a number of different liable parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company, or even the manufacturer of a defective truck part. It is crucial that you speak to an experienced attorney about your case.

    Don’t try to handle this on your own – Call our office at (727) 784-8191 to request an initial evaluation. We work on a contingency fee basis, and you only pay if we successfully recover compensation for you.

    Proving Negligence in Truck Accident Claims

    Most truck accidents are attributable to the truck driver’s negligence or speed. In order to prove that the truck driver and the associated trucking company are to be held accountable for an accident, it’s necessary to provide sufficient evidence.

    There are several ways to prove truck accident negligence:
  • Data Recording Systems: For starters, most modern trucks are equipped with an advanced data recording system. This built-in device gives a record of the speed, distance, and other relevant variables that can be investigated if a truck accident occurs.
  • Drug/Alcohol Testing: Negligence on behalf of the driver due to drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs can easily be tested through alcohol/drug screening. The truck driver’s previous history of offenses and records can also be investigated to produce a solid case.
  • Truck Maintenance & Driver Safety: Truck accident negligence can also be judged according to the trucking company’s level of vehicle maintenance and requirements for drivers regarding motor safety rules. In these cases, when the trucker’s negligence is inconspicuous, the truck’s maintenance and the company’s focus on its employees’ education regarding road safety protocols can be assessed.
