Weston Truck Accident Lawyers

Seasoned Truck Accident Lawyers Help Broward County Truck Accident Victims Get Justice for Their Injuries

If you have sustained serious injuries in a truck accident in Weston, you likely already know that the terrifying experience of the truck accident itself is only the beginning.  Truck accidents cause injuries that are far more damaging than those sustained in car crashes, meaning that you are likely facing a painful, lengthy and expensive recovery from your truck accident injuries.  Unfortunately, it is the driver and passengers in smaller non-commercial vehicles who are much more likely to suffer these injuries in a truck accident, and it is also these accident victims who must then face the daunting process of recovering financial compensation from the truck driver’s commercial insurance carrier. At Lawlor, White & Murphey, P.C., our Weston truck accident lawyers have devoted our legal practice to fighting for justice for accident victims in Weston and elsewhere in South Florida.

We work tirelessly to ensure that your rights are respected and protected throughout the entire process of recovering the compensation necessary to treat your injuries and hold the at-fault truck driver, the trucking company and other negligent parties accountable for their actions.  If you or a loved one was hurt in a truck accident, call our offices today to see how our personal injury lawyers can help.

Common Causes of Weston, Florida Truck Accidents

Although it may seem clear that the truck accident in which you were injured was in no way your fault, determining the actual cause of the accident remains critical to identifying the correct party to hold financially responsible for the damage caused by the accident.  Unlike traditional motor vehicle accident cases, apportioning liability can be far more complex in a truck accident case, which may involve any number of potentially responsible parties. Common causes of truck accidents in Weston include:

• Driver fatigue.  Truck drivers work long hours and are on the roadways, often barreling down dangerous highways, for most of this time.  Because of this, and because South Florida is often the driver’s final destination, fatigued driving is a primary cause of truck accidents in Florida despite federal laws designed to limit truck drivers’ time behind the wheel.
• Distracted driving.  Spending long stretches of time on the roads means that drivers are often distracted by texts and calls while behind the wheel, which is also where truck drivers take many of their meals.
• Driving while intoxicated or impaired.  Truck drivers who use drugs or alcohol while driving may limit their reaction time and easily cause an accident.
• Improperly secured cargo.  Many trucks carry cargo that, when not secured or loaded properly, can cause severe damage to surrounding vehicles.
• Vehicle malfunction.  Trucks spend such a significant amount of time on the roadway that they must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure all safety gear is working properly.  Failure to do so can result in tragedy.
• Aggressive driving.  Truck drivers are financially motivated to get their cargo to its destination as quickly as possible, which can encourage aggressive driving, speeding, and other traffic violations.
• Unqualified drivers.  Because commercial trucks are such large vehicles, truck drivers are required to complete specialized training to ensure they can drive the vehicle safely.  Failure to complete this training can result in unsafe truck drivers on the roadways.
