Truck accident cases are different than the typical motor vehicle accidents for many reasons. Whether your accident is with a semi-truck, delivery vehicle like a UPS or FedEx truck or a service truck, the trucking industry is highly regulated and subject to a variety of laws. These laws place weight restrictions on truckloads, put limitations on times, distances and locations where trucks may be driven, require specific training and licenses for truck drivers, and require the truck itself to comply with specific requirements. When a truck driver or truck owner fails to comply with the trucking laws and an accident results, it may give rise to claims for damages against the truck’s insurance, the truck driver, and the business employing the truck driver. A claim may also be the result of the truck driver failing to drive carefully or follow the rules of the road that apply to all drivers.
When you’re pursuing a truck accident claim, it’s critical to consider all of the parties that may be responsible. Truck accident cases are unique among vehicle accident cases because the truck driver is often employed by a large, often out of state, corporation or business. If the truck driver is on the job for their employer when the accident occurs, the corporation or business may be liable. When the employer is located outside the state where the accident occurs, there may be additional issues to be considered in a claim like the appropriate location to file the claim.
An experienced truck accident attorney will be versed on the trucking laws and can identify any potential violations that may apply to your case. A truck accident attorney will also be able to pursue a claim against all responsible parties, including out of state corporations who employ the truck driver. When you work with an attorney, you rely on them to know and apply all of the trucking laws, rules of the road, negligence laws, and Florida court procedures to help you get a fair outcome in the legal process.
