When a massive truck collides with your car, it’s not just an accident; it’s a life-changing event. Truck crashes often cause catastrophic injuries, overwhelming medical bills, lost wages, and long-term emotional trauma.

You don’t have to face the aftermath alone.

At the DeWitt Law Firm, we stand up for accident victims in Florida who’ve been hurt in truck accidents, whether on highways, rural roads, or city intersections. We go toe-to-toe with trucking companies and their insurers so you can focus on healing while we handle the legal fight.

Florida Truck Accident Law: What You Need to Know

Florida law holds trucking companies, drivers, and even manufacturers accountable when their negligence causes harm. But these cases are more complex than regular car crashes, multiple parties may be liable, and the trucking industry plays rough.

Here’s the good news: We don’t flinch.

We know the FMCSA regulations, Florida commercial vehicle codes, and the sneaky tactics insurers use to avoid paying fair compensation.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents We Handle:

Driver fatigue or falling asleep at the wheel
Speeding or reckless lane changes
Overloaded or improperly secured cargo
Negligent hiring or training by trucking companies
Distracted or impaired truck drivers
Brake failure or mechanical issues
Failure to maintain safety logs or records

Truck Accident Injuries Are Often Devastating

Semi-trucks don’t cause fender benders; they cause wreckage. These are just some of the serious injuries we see:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Broken bones and crush injuries
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Emotional trauma and PTSD
Spinal cord damage or paralysis
Severe burns or lacerations

Whether you were the driver, a passenger, or even a pedestrian struck by a commercial vehicle, your injuries matter—and so does your case.

What Can You Recover in a Florida Truck Accident Lawsuit?

If you were hit by a truck, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Current and future medical bills
Emotional distress
Property damage
Lost income or earning potential
Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
Disability or disfigurement
Pain and suffering

We dig deep into your case to uncover every liable party and every dollar you’re owed.
