Miramar Truck Accident Lawyers

Qualified Broward County Truck Accident Lawyers Passionate About Maximizing Compensation in Truck Accident Lawsuits

Truck accidents are inherently more complicated than cases where an accident involves only ordinary passenger vehicles. This is the case both because the resulting injuries suffered by truck accident victims tend to be much more serious than in other cases, and because a complicated set of state and federal safety regulations apply to trucking companies and truck drivers who operate in the Miramar, Florida area. The size and weight of a large commercial truck, tractor-trailer or semi can turn an ordinary car accident into a catastrophic tragedy. The fact that these commercial trucks are almost always owned by a large trucking company only adds another hurdle into the mix, as these corporations have seemingly endless resources to put toward their efforts to minimize fault following a truck accident. At Lawlor, White & Murphey, our Miramar truck accident lawyers are passionate about protecting truck accident victims’ rights when they are injured in our Miramar community.

Truck Accidents Are Often Dangerous and Even Deadly

A truck accident can change your life in an instant, causing injuries that range from traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, loss of limbs and even death. Some of the more dangerous and even deadly truck accidents that we have witnessed in the area are:

  • Side underride accidents in Miramar,
  • Rear underride accidents in Miramar,
  • Front underride accidents in Miramar,
  • Blind-spot crashes in Miramar,
  • Lost load accidents in Miramar,
  • Jackknife accidents in Miramar.

Truck accidents are unfortunately often caused by truck drivers who are either distracted or extremely tired. Fatigued driving among truck drivers is a significant problem in our area because of the pressure trucking companies place on these drivers to meet unreasonable delivery deadlines—sometimes even in violation of state or federal trucking safety regulations.

Truck accidents can also be caused by:

  • Aggressive driving, speeding or other traffic violations,
  • Improperly maintained vehicles,
  • Faulty truck components, such as bald tires or faulty brakes,
  • Improperly loaded cargo,
  • Poorly trained drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Truck Accidents in Miramar, Florida

How are truck accidents different than car accidents?

What might the trucking company do to reduce their liability for damages in my truck accident case?

Trucking companies may raise any number of defenses to reduce their financial exposure following a truck accident, including arguing that comparative fault rules should apply (in other words, that you were also partially at fault for causing the truck accident), that your truck accident injuries were not actually caused by the accident (that they were pre-existing conditions), or that you failed to follow your physician’s treatment plan or seek medical care quickly (i.e., a failure to mitigate damages). The truck company might also argue that a third-party’s actions actually caused the accident, or that the accident was caused by unavoidable dangerous road conditions. We have seen all of these defense strategies and more, and are fully equipped to argue against their impact in your case.

Does it take a long time to recover compensation after a truck accident?

The answer to this question depends upon the complexity of the accident itself. It can take a significant amount of time to investigate and obtain all necessary evidence to formulate a strong case for compensation—and we do want to make the strongest possible case so that you can obtain full compensation for your injuries. The time frame will also depend upon the willingness of the trucking company to accept fault, and whether the evidence we uncover is clear-cut or more nuanced.
