While most accidents involving large commercial trucks cause significant damage, not all Pompano Beach truck accident cases are created equally.  The actual legal action required to recover compensation for injuries sustained in truck accidents will vary depending upon the specific circumstances of the case, and may include:

  • Negligence Actions.  Many truck accidents are caused by simple driver negligence.  In these cases, we will examine the facts to argue that the driver owed a duty to others on the roads and somehow breached this duty through his or her actions, thereby causing the accident and resulting injuries.
  • Defective Products Cases.  Truck accidents may be caused by a defective component in the vehicle itself.  In these product liability cases, we will work to prove that the defective part was unreasonably dangerous, that the truck was operated as the manufacturer intended and that no significant changes had been made since the original purchase or installation of the component.  Both manufacturers and designers can be held responsible for defective components.
  • Employment Liability Theories.  When a truck driver’s negligent driving is the root cause of a truck accident, his or her employer is technically responsible for the damages caused by the accident.  Despite this basic rule, complications often arise in cases where the trucking company may attempt to escape liability by categorizing the truck driver as an independent contractor, rather than an employee.  We can often rebut this argument by looking to the facts of the relationship between the driver and the trucking company.
  • Wrongful Death.  Severe truck accidents often result in fatalities.  In these wrongful death cases, the immediate family members of the victim may have the right to recover compensation on behalf of their lost loved one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pompano Beach Truck Accident Cases

How are truck accidents different than car accidents?

Why is it important to retain a lawyer quickly after a truck accident?

Choosing a lawyer to represent your interests is important in every case, but in truck accident cases, it is especially important to act quickly in order to preserve all available evidence. The stakes tend to be much higher in truck accident cases, and evidence can quickly disappear. Further, trucking companies are only required to preserve certain pieces of evidence for a set period of time, meaning that it becomes legal to destroy potentially valuable evidence after too much time passes. Retaining a lawyer as soon as possible gives you the best possible chance of recovering the most compensation possible in your case.

What, specifically, do truck drivers and companies have to do in order to demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to prevent truck accidents?

Truck drivers and trucking companies are required to maintain detailed records and logbooks of various items under federal regulations. Specifically, truck drivers must maintain a log of all hours driven and hours of service, including all rest breaks. Trucking companies must maintain records of the vehicle’s inspections, the results of those inspections and the vehicle’s maintenance. Trucking companies may also keep records as to hiring practices to demonstrate how they determine that the truck driver is qualified to drive the vehicle.
