Truck Accidents

Fort Lauderdale Trucking Accident Lawyers

Trucking accidents account for a disproportionate share of serious injuries and traffic deaths along south Florida highways 95, 595, 75, 1, and 27. The possible causes of a truck accident are many, including:

• Driver fatigue, alcohol or drug use, or negligence
• Lack of truck driver training on the proper handling of a large vehicle
• Aggressive driving, speeding, or reckless driving
• Inadequate truck maintenance
• Defective truck parts
• Overloaded trucks putting a strain on the brakes
• Driving with an unsecured load or improper loading so the weight shifts dangerously on turns

Any of these problems could have fatal results for cars and small trucks sharing the road with an 18-wheeler.
