Serving People Who Were Seriously Injured
in Commercial Trucking Accidents
A commercial truck — commonly called a semi truck, tractor trailer, or 18-wheeler — is often seen as a lumbering, dangerous vehicle that hinders other drivers. Trucking accidents can be especially serious because of the semi truck's size, weight, and turning limitations. If you suffered a serious or catastrophic injury in a commercial trucking accident in Florida or Gulf Coast Alabama, Baker & Baker, Injury Attorneys, can help.
Thorough Investigation into Trucking Accidents
Our attorneys have more than 23 years of experience in personal injury law. We know how to handle trucking accident cases to find out the facts, such as the data from a black box recorder. By investigating all the details of your accident, we can help determine if the other driver or the company who owns the truck is liable, and whether he or she violated state or federal Department of Transportation standards for trucking. Violations of industry standards include:
- False logbook entries about rest breaks
- False logbook entries about driving hours per day
- Continuous operation even with driver fatigue
- Unsafe or irresponsible driving
- Overloaded material that exceeds weight limits
- Unbalanced load after packing a truck
- Poor maintenance
If a crash happened because the commercial truck was overloaded or had an unbalanced load, you may be able to collect compensation from the company that loaded the truck as well.
We are committed to making sure that truck drivers are held responsible if their violations of trucking standards caused commercial trucking accidents. If the owner or driver of the commercial truck involved was negligent, and that negligence resulted in the death of a family member or loved one, then we can also help you file a wrongful death claim, to compensate for the losses of the decedent’s estate and survivors.
