Florida Truck Accident Lawyers

When a truck is involved, critical injuries are almost certain

Thanks to our one call, that’s all philosophy, the attorneys at Nugent Law Firm, LLC give victims injured in Florida truck accidents immediate and easy access to help.  Every time you drive, you face a possible life shattering injury from crashing with an improperly operated tractor-trailer, 18-wheeler, big rig, semi, or other commercial vehicle.  When a truck is involved in an accident, severe injuries are almost certain.

Truck accidents are different from other crashes

Over the years our state and federal governments have imposed strict laws that truck companies must follow to minimize the hazards they pose to other motorists.  As a result, under the law, truck accidents are totally different from those just involving cars.

This makes truck accident cases complex.  In fact, determining who is liable for your injuries can by itself be very complicated.  The list can include drivers, fleet owners, manufacturers, even those responsible for road maintenance.

For all these reasons, and to prevent representatives of those who hurt you from pressuring you to sign away your rights for full and fair compensation, hiring experienced truck accident attorneys is critical.

Causes of truck accidents

The truck accident team at Nugent Law Firm, LLC can help you aggressively pursue your case.  We find out who, what, when, where, why, and how your accident happened.  A few typical causes of truck accidents are—

  • Drivers trying to meet a deadline
  • Traffic delays that frustrate drivers
  • Drivers who are tired because of their long hours
  • Drivers who are not properly trained
  • Drivers who are not certified for the type or size of a truck
  • Following too close to stop correctly for the weight of the truck and its cargo
  • Cargo that is not loaded correctly
  • Trucks that are not safe for the road because of bad tires or faulty brakes
  • Drivers who are distracted by use of cell phone, iPod, CB radio, or GPS
  • Improperly maintained roadways
  • Improperly posted hazard warnings

Our team of experts examines truck equipment, reviews the company's maintenance records, reconstructs the scene of the accident, and investigates the truck driver's logs and safety record.  Our experts' data increase the value of your claim.  We are thorough and relentless in pushing to get you what you deserve.

As a result of an accident the value of your repaired vehicle decreases. This area of damage is known as "diminished value" and we will assist you in recovering these funds.
