The accelerated pace of commerce has created an influx of commercial trucks and other fleets rushing through Central Florida to deliver products to businesses and homes.

The experienced legal team at Main Law Firm understands how an accident with a tractor-trailer, a bus, or other large commercial vehicle can instantly change an individual’s life. You may face a lengthy hospital stay or extensive rehabilitation, including physical therapy and all the bills that come with it. If the accident was the result of someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation expenses, and pain and suffering.

Common Causes of a Trucking Accident

The size, weight, and freight of large trucks make them more dangerous in an accident, but what are the leading causes of crashes involving trucks?

  • Failure to properly maintain the truck, which can cause brake failure and tire blowouts, among other dangerous issues

  • Drowsy and distracted driving

  • Improperly loaded cargo, which can shift during transport or create uneven weight distribution

  • Inadequate driver training

  • Traffic rule violations, like speeding or following too closely

Large trucks are difficult to maneuver, slower to stop, and provide limited visibility, all of which make accidents inevitable.
