A Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Law Firm

Trucking Accidents

We Are Strong Advocates for Serious Injuries

“If you have been injured in a crash with a truck or commercial vehicle, hire a lawyer right away. Chances are, the insurance company has already started its investigation. You don’t want to be caught behind the 8-ball.” – Matthew A. Crist

Trucking & Commercial Vehicle Accident Attorney in the Tampa Bay Area

Accidents involving 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles frequently result in catastrophic injuries. Under Federal law, the drivers of these trucks and the companies that own them are required to follow hundreds of pages of regulations to operate legally on our highways. These regulations are designed to protect the public and govern everything from the speeds that these trucks are required to operate at to the amount of sleep that the driver needs before heading out on the road.

Hire an Attorney That Will Do an Immediate Investigation

Following any commercial vehicle crash, the trucking company and its insurance company will immediately start their investigations.

That is why whenever our firm is hired for a trucking accident, we hire our own experts to do their own investigation of the accident as soon as possible.

Get Medical Attention and Gather Information

After an accident with a large truck or commercial vehicle, you should seek immediate medical attention. If you can, take pictures of the accident scene and the truck, and get the names and phone numbers of all witnesses.  Always call law enforcement so you have an official crash report.

Hire the Right Attorney, Right Away

When choosing an attorney to represent you for an injury caused by an trucking or commercial vehicle accident, you should select a lawyer that has experience in these unique cases, an understanding of the regulations that apply to trucking industry, and the skills and ability to go up against the trucking companies and their insurance companies.
