Protecting Your Rights After a Trucking Accident

Are You or Someone You Love the Victim of a Truck Accident?

Seek Counsel From a Tampa Truck Accident Lawyer Immediately
Accidents involving large commercial trucks are far more complicated than standard car accidents. Due to the weight and impact of trucks, the injuries sustained can be catastrophic or even fatal. Furthermore, federal and state trucking regulations add layers of complexity to a truck accident claim.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Driver Fatigue

Distracted Driving

Speeding

Improper Loading of Cargo

Mechanical Failures

Impaired Driving

Catastrophic Injuries From Truck Accidents Can Change Your Life Forever

The personal injuries sustained in truck crashes are often severe due to the enormous size and force of these vehicles. This is why you need legal guidance such as ours to protect your rights. Unfortunately, after an accident involving a truck, in many cases, you’re lucky to even be alive.

Severe injuries may also alter the course of your life, so it will never be the same again. You might be facing many of these common truck accident injuries:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Head injuries are common in truck accidents, often resulting in long-term cognitive impairments, memory loss, and other neurological issues.

Burns

Fires or explosions resulting from truck accidents can cause severe burn injuries, requiring long-term medical care and rehabilitation.

Amputations

 Sadly, in extreme cases, the force of the impact may result in the loss of limbs, leading to significant medical, emotional, and financial challenges.

Neck and Spine Injuries

Damage to the spinal cord or neck injuries can result in partial or total paralysis, significantly altering a victim’s quality of life.

Broken Bones and Internal Injuries

The high impact of truck accidents often leads to fractures in the arms, legs, ribs, or pelvis, requiring extensive medical treatment and recovery time. Internal bleeding or organ damage may not be immediately apparent after an accident, but these injuries can be life-threatening if left untreated.

Truck Crash Changed Your Life?

Economic and Non-Economic Damages in Truck Accident Cases

We believe your legal advice should come from a face-to-face Truck accident victims are often entitled to compensation for a wide range of damages.
Economic damages are tangible costs such as medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and rehabilitation expenses.
Non-economic damages are intangible losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and the loss of enjoyment of life.
In some cases, punitive damages may also be available if the responsible party’s behavior was particularly egregious, such as drunk driving or gross negligence by a trucking company.
Our law firm of experienced truck accident attorneys can help determine the types of damages you are eligible to pursue and build a compelling truck accident case to support your claim.

Florida Law On Tampa Truck Accident Cases

Commercial truck accidents often involve additional legal complexities, including state and federal trucking regulations governing trucking company negligence and operations. Tampa truck drivers and trucking companies must comply with certain laws.

Federal Hours-of-Service Regulations

Truck drivers must adhere to strict driving hours limits to prevent fatigue. Violations of these regulations can be a key factor in proving negligence.

Cargo Regulations

Improperly loaded cargo can shift during transit, causing accidents. Trucking companies must follow strict rules regarding cargo weight and balance.

Maintenance Records

Trucking companies are required to keep detailed maintenance records. Failure to maintain vehicles properly can be evidence of negligence.

What’s the most common truck accident injury?
Larger commercial trucks weigh up to 80,000 pounds, resulting in serious injuries that take months of recovery and cost thousands of dollars in medical bills – or worse, wrongful death and fatal crashes.

More importantly, when accidents involve semis and big trucks, the injuries are often more serious than in car accidents, and the resulting property damage is typically also greater. According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle (FHSMV) report, there were nearly 32,000 accidents that involved a truck in 2017. Every year, almost 140,000 individuals are seriously injured in accidents that involve semi-tractor-trailer rigs, causing 700 deaths.

Nearly 2. 5 years ago I was rear ended by a commercial truck causing injuries that would effect me a life time. With the help of Mr. Manny Fernandez and his staff they made this process easier than I could’ve imagined. They were by my side the entire time and kept me up to date with the latest development. He himself would call to check on me periodically, especially after both back surgeries. The KF&B group always had my best interest at heart. Once again many thanks to Manny Fernandez and staff at the KF&B group.caring and attentive to your individual needs and efficient in their work. Ive gone here fortunately but unfortunately one to many occasions but they’ve had me evey single time. I couldn’t ask for better service. Thank you.

I had two car accidents from within 2017 and 2018. The first one is where I got hit by a tow truck. He got in my lane and hit me. Then the second accident was where a drunk driver hit me in the rear end. I cannot work anymore because of this. I have tried to work and make money to live on. I called the law office and they took my case right away. I just want to say that I am so happy with the results. I am now able to have some peace of mind. They helped with the medical portion as well as I am still in the recovery process. Thank you so much for helping me with my two car accidents. The very best I would say and so much moreFrom start to end of the case (which was completed in 6 months!), I felt like Marcus had my back and truly was there to represent and advocate for me. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in need of legal support.

Mr. Fernandez did an outstanding job with ensuring that I was aware of every move, every response from the other insurance carrier, what our next steps were going to be, including doing the full mediation to settle out of court for me!! I appreciate all his help!!
