All automobile accidents can be fatal, but this especially becomes true when a truck is involved. The sheer weight and size of a commercial truck can make an accident deadly, even at low speeds. Getting hit by a truck can quickly send a driver and passengers to the hospital. If you or a loved one is dealing with the aftermath of a truck crash, help is available.

Delray Beach, FL Truck Accident Lawyer
Truck accidents can happen due to various reasons, with some examples including distracted or drowsy driving, improper loading, speeding or violating other traffic laws, and mechanical failure. While some factors, like bad roads or poor weather conditions, are out of the driver’s control, many accidents are a direct result of a driver’s negligence or recklessness. Many truckers work long shifts—sometimes ten hours or more—with little to no breaks in between. While truckers need to follow very strict federal and state safety regulations, sometimes they violate these rules either on their own or due to pressure from their employer.
Regardless of the cause, victims have every right to seek out compensation following a truck accident. Compensation can cover much more than medical expenses as well. Truck accidents often mean that victims have a long road to recovery that can take months or even years. During this time, victims might be unable to work, and compensation can cover lost wages, job rehabilitation, and even permanent disability in some cases.
Truck accident cases can be difficult due to the question of liability. Depending on the case, the driver, their employer, the trucking company, or even the manufacturer can be held liable. Our team can gather the necessary evidence to determine who’s liable.
