What to Do After a Truck Accident in Florida

Following a truck accident, it’s important to take the right steps to protect your rights and ensure that you have the best possible chance of a successful claim:

  • 1

    Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s essential to get checked out by a doctor, as some injuries can worsen over time.

  • 3

    Get Witness Information: If there are witnesses to the accident, get their names and contact information. Witness testimony can strengthen your claim.

  • 4

    File a Police Report: Ensure a police report is filed, as it will provide an official account of the accident.

Types of Truck Accident Cases We Handle

At The Law Firm of Vanessa L. King, we represent clients in various types of truck accident cases, including:

Rear-End Collisions

Trucks may not be able to stop as quickly as smaller vehicles, causing serious rear-end crashes.

Jackknife Accidents

These accidents occur when a truck’s trailer swings around and collides with the vehicle or others, causing devastating results.

Rollover Accidents

Due to the height and weight of trucks, they are more prone to rolling over, leading to serious injuries for both truck occupants and others on the road.

Wide-Turn Accidents

Trucks making wide turns can collide with other vehicles or pedestrians, causing significant damage.

Trucking Company Negligence

Trucking companies may fail to maintain their vehicles, allow fatigued drivers on the road, or disregard federal safety regulations. We hold these companies accountable for their negligence.

Cargo Spills or Improper Loading

If a truck is carrying improperly loaded or unsecured cargo, it can result in dangerous accidents when the cargo spills or shifts during transit.

Truck Driver Fatigue or Distracted Driving

Driver fatigue, distraction, or even substance abuse can impair a truck driver’s ability to drive safely. We investigate the truck driver’s actions and the trucking company’s responsibilities in such cases.
