Orlando Truck Accident Lawyer
A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, roughly twenty times a passenger car. When one causes a crash in Orlando, the injuries are often catastrophic, and the trucking company’s insurer and rapid-response investigators are working the scene before the injured person has left the hospital. Jedediah “Jed” Main is a Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, a member of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, and has been named a Top 10 Trucking Trial Lawyer in Florida by The National Trial Lawyers. He represents people seriously injured in commercial truck collisions throughout Orlando and Orange County. Free consultation; no fee unless we recover.
Why Orlando Sees So Many Serious Truck Crashes
Orlando sits at the center of Florida’s freight network. Interstate 4 carries enormous volumes of commercial traffic through the middle of the metro area, and it is consistently ranked among the most dangerous highways in the nation. Add the Turnpike, SR 408, SR 417, and the constant delivery traffic serving one of the country’s largest tourism economies, and Orlando roads carry a heavy, continuous load of commercial vehicles.
Ongoing I-4 construction compounds the risk, with shifting lanes, narrowed shoulders, and heavy equipment moving in and out of live traffic.
What Makes a Truck Case Different From a Car Accident
Federal regulation. Interstate carriers must follow the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, covering driver hours of service, driver qualifications, drug and alcohol testing, vehicle inspection and maintenance, and cargo securement. A violation can be powerful evidence of negligence.
Multiple responsible parties. Liability may extend beyond the driver to the motor carrier, the company that owned the trailer or loaded the cargo, a maintenance provider, or a freight broker. More parties can mean more available insurance and a more complex case.
Evidence that disappears. Electronic logging device records, the truck’s electronic control module data, dashcam footage, driver qualification files, and maintenance records are controlled by the carrier and can be overwritten within days. A legal hold must be issued promptly.
A defense that starts immediately. Carriers dispatch investigators to serious crash scenes within hours.
