Causes of Truck Accidents

Miami Truck Accident Attorney

Commercial truck drivers are required by law to receive special training before they can be licensed to drive on the streets and highways of Miami, as they are simply far more dangerous than normal passenger vehicles. Weighing up to 80,000 pounds, they take longer to come to a full stop, especially at highway speeds, and they are exceptionally prone to blind spots. Truck accidents occur for a variety of reasons, but when the driver’s negligence is a factor, the victims have a right to demand compensation.

If you want to be represented by a firm with over a century of combined experience, where you will receive support and dedicated representation from a Miami personal injury attorney who sincerely cares about your claim, come to Klemick and Gampel, P.A. We know what a major impact your accident may have on the rest of your life, and will do everything we can, including going to trial, to recover the settlement you deserve.

Truck Accident Claims in Miami

Any driver has a duty to avoid causing accidents, but this is especially true for truckers. Many truck accidents occur as a result of a tired driver’s attempts to meet stiff delivery deadlines by dangerously exceeding federal regulations for the length of time a trucker can be on a road in any 24 hour period. Others can be attributed to carrying excess weight, making the truck difficult to handle, as well as faulty or under-maintained equipment. Semi-trucks and 18-wheelers can become exceptionally difficult to handle during heavy rain or snow, on icy roads and in high winds, and the driver has a responsibility to pull off the road at these times. Whether your injuries occurred in a drunk driving accident or if they were the result of carelessness, recklessness or incompetence, fill out our case evaluation form so that we can begin work on your claim today.
