Truck Accident Attorney / Car Accident Lawyer
Orlando & Winter Park, Florida
While millions are injured or killed on our highways due to auto accidents, trucking accidents introduce enormous potential for harm when excessive speeds, tired drivers, and unsafe conditions are combined with the sheer weight of a truck. The law requires trucking companies to perform routine maintenance of vehicles, conduct regular safety inspections and ensure that unsafe trucks stay off the road. The trucking company and the truck driver share the responsibility for complying with these reasonable safety requirements. The failure of either, or both, to comply with these rules and regulations can lead to tragic and preventable accidents.

Who Is At Fault?
The trucking company may be partially or fully liable for the accident. There are standard regulations for truck inspection, care and maintenance, as well as government-mandated safe driving laws every truck driver must follow. In most cases, the trucking company is responsible for the condition of its trucks while they are being driven on our roads. This is particularly significant when poor maintenance has contributed to causing the accident.
A truck driver may also be directly liable for the accident since the driver was in control of the vehicle and responsible for the condition of the truck and any maintenance issues. Drivers are responsible for complying with all safe driving laws and regular truck inspections. A driver that has failed to reasonably operate a vehicle, conduct proper inspections or alert the trucking company of needed repairs may be partly, or wholly, responsible for an accident.
