Tampa Trucking Accident Lawyer
Was Your Loved One Killed in a Truck Accident?
If your loved one was recently killed in an accident with a tractor trailer, semi, or 18-wheeler truck, you may be eligible to recover damages under Florida’s wrongful death laws. The law states that damages are to be awarded to the beneficiaries of a wrongful death victim who was killed in an accident caused by the negligence of another. In a truck accident case, negligence can be committed on the part of the truck driver or the trucking company. Acts of negligence that commonly lead to fatal truck accidents include:
- The truck driver was driving under the influence
- The truck driver was driving recklessly
- The truck driver made an illegal turn
- The truck driver ran a red light or stop sign
- The truck driver was too fatigued to be driving
- The truck company failed to fix or repair a broken or defective piece of equipment on the truck
- The truck company overloaded the truck with too much cargo
- The truck company failed to ensure the driver had proper credentials and was qualified to operate the truck
