Truck Accidents Attorney

Serving West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Lake Worth and the Port St. Lucie area

Travel the highways of the United States and you'll quickly realize most drivers do not obey speed limits. In West Palm Beach, Florida, I-95 is notorious as a dangerous roadway where, despite a posted speed limit of 55, car and truck drivers routinely operate their vehicles in excess of 70 miles per hour. In fact, motor vehicle accidents commonly occur on I-95 and other South Florida roadways because of speeding, causing trucks to roll over and ‘jackknife,’ with devastating results for the victims.

In addition to speeding, other reasons for truck accidents include:

  • Poor visibility due to inclement weather
  • Reduced visibility due to curved roads
  • Rear-ending
  • Sideswiping
  • Head on collisions
  • Turning or drifting across the path of passenger vehicles

Why Truck Accidents Are Devastating

The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks make truck accidents more life-threatening than automobile accidents. The driver of a car involved in an accident with a large truck is more likely to sustain 80% of the fatal injuries from that accident. In 2002, approximately 560,000 large truck accidents occurred, killing over 5,000 people and injuring 156,000 individuals. This number only continues to grow.

Additionally, trucking accidents are far more complicated to litigate than automobile accidents. The trucking industry is heavily regulated, with many laws that can be very confusing to the untrained, inexperienced individual.
