Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complex

Truck accidents aren’t like standard car accidents. They involve multiple parties, federal regulations, and aggressive defense teams. Common complexities include:

  • Multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, manufacturers)
  • Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations
  • Hours-of-service rules and driver fatigue issues
  • Black box data and electronic logging device (ELD) evidence
  • Corporate insurers working to minimize payouts

We know how to navigate these complexities and build strong cases to secure maximum recovery for our clients.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Many trucking accidents are caused by negligence or unsafe practices, including:

  • Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations
  • Distracted or impaired driving
  • Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Mechanical failures or poor truck maintenance
  • Inexperienced or inadequately trained drivers

If a negligent truck driver or company caused your injuries, we’ll fight to hold them fully accountable.

Injuries We See After Truck Accidents

Because of the size and weight of commercial trucks, accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, such as:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Multiple fractures and crush injuries
  • Severe burns and disfigurement
  • Internal organ damage and bleeding
  • Wrongful death in the most tragic cases

We fight to make sure victims and families receive the care, resources, and justice they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Trucking in Florida

How are truck accident cases different from car accident claims?

Truck accidents involve multiple liable parties, federal regulations, and corporate insurers, making them much more complex than standard car accidents.

Potentially liable parties include the truck driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, manufacturers, and maintenance providers.

Florida law generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, each case is unique and you should contact Von Roenn Law to verify the applicable time frame to file your claim.

You may recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Yes. These cases are aggressively defended and require an attorney who understands federal regulations, evidence preservation, and complex liability issues.

We gather driver logs, black box data, and maintenance records to prove negligence and hold them accountable.

Yes. Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule allows recovery if you were less than 50% at fault, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

There are no upfront fees. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case.
