Our attorneys specialize in representing truck accident victims across the state, leveraging extensive knowledge to navigate Florida’s laws.

STATEWIDE ACCIDENT DATA
In 2022, Florida reported over 5,200 truck accidents, resulting in approximately 1,600 injuries and over 200 fatalities. According to the FMCSA, Florida has a high violation rate for trucking regulations, contributing to roadway dangers. Additionally, inspections show that nearly 20% of commercial trucks in Florida have serious violations. The alarming numbers emphasize the need for experienced legal representation in the face of such risks.
FL STATE LAW & DEADLINES
Florida law allows a four-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, making timely action crucial for victims. The state operates under a modified comparative fault rule, meaning that if you're found more than 50% at fault, you can't recover damages. Beyond federal regulations, Florida enforces specific trucking laws concerning hours of service and vehicle inspections. Furthermore, dram shop laws can hold establishments accountable if they over-serve intoxicated drivers implicated in accidents, directly impacting claim values for victims.
HIGH-RISK CORRIDORS
Commercial truck accidents frequently occur along Florida's major highways, especially on I-4, I-10, and US-441. High-traffic interchanges in Orlando and the congested sections of I-95 near Miami are notorious for accidents. The Florida Turnpike also sees significant commercial activity, increasing the likelihood of serious incidents. Knowing these routes helps us understand accident patterns and bolster our case strategies.
WHERE YOUR CASE IS FILED
Truck accident cases in Florida can be filed in several courts, including the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts. Relevant state trial courts include circuit courts in various counties such as Orange, Duval, and Miami-Dade. Understanding the jurisdiction and venue is key to effectively pursuing your claim for compensation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — FLORIDA

What is the statute of limitations for truck accident claims in Florida?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including truck accidents, is four years. This means you have four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit; failing to do so could result in losing your right to compensation.

How does comparative fault work in Florida?

Florida follows modified comparative fault rules, allowing you to recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. If you are deemed 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any compensation for your injuries.

What should I do immediately after a truck accident?

Immediately after a truck accident, ensure everyone's safety and call 911 to report the crash. Gather evidence, take photos, and exchange information with the truck driver. It's also crucial to seek medical attention, as documentation of injuries is vital for your case.

How does trucking company insurance work in Florida?

Trucking companies are required to carry insurance to cover damages in case of an accident, with minimum liability coverage usually starting at $750,000 for larger trucks. Understanding the specifics of their policy can be complex, which is why having a lawyer to navigate these details can significantly help your claim.

What damages can I recover in a truck accident case in Florida?

In Florida, you may recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages. The extent of your compensation will depend on the specifics of your case and the severity of your injuries.
