Trucking companies have big money and lots of experience defending their negligent drivers. We are here to fight for you and your loved ones. A tractor trailer accident is a horrible event to go through. You are not alone. We are here for you.

Tractor Trailers can weigh 20-30 times more than your normal passenger vehicle, so their drivers must be extra cautious on the roads. Unfortunately, that is not often the case.

If you are one of these victims, then let us help you find the road to recovery.

A tractor trailer case needs special attention to detail, and with our courtroom experience, we know exactly how to help you and your family recover from your tragic losses.

What is a tractor trailer?

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a large truck has a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds. A bus is any motor vehicle designed primarily to transport nine or more persons, including the driver.

Tractor trailers often drive long distances, for trucking companies. They are regulated by the federal government on how many hours and miles they can drive.

Drivers also receive specialized training. In an accident involving a tractor trailer, you must have a very experienced tractor trailer lawyer helping you through this time.

What should you do as a tractor trailer victim?

Once the police arrive, they will have questions about your tractor trailer. Be honest. It is okay to say you don’t know something! It is much better to go back and give more information later than to give incorrect information to start with.

Start a notebook. Write down dates, events, and anything that happens to you. You will thank yourself later!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Florida Accidents & Injuries

What Damages Can I Pursue After a Dog Bite Injury in Florida?
A dog bite claim may include medical expenses, lost wages, physical pain, emotional trauma, scarring, disfigurement, infection treatment, future medical care, and other damages supported by the facts. The value depends on the injuries caused, insurance coverage, and Florida law.
What if the Dog Bite Happened at the Owner’s Home While I Was Visiting?
Being a lawful guest on the owner’s property does not automatically disqualify your claim. However, Florida law includes an exception if the owner displayed an easily readable “Bad Dog” sign, unless the person bitten was under six years old or the owner’s negligent act or omission caused the injury.
Can I Pursue a Claim Against Someone I Know Personally?
Many dog bite claims involve a homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy, not direct payment from the dog owner. This can make the claim less personally difficult than many people expect.
How Long Do I Have To File a Dog Bite Claim in Florida?
Florida deadlines can depend on the legal theory, the date of the dog bite or animal attack, the injured person’s age, and the parties involved. Some negligence-based claims may involve a two-year deadline, while other dog bite claims may involve different timing under Florida law. A dog bite attorney can review the facts and explain which deadline may apply.
Does Florida Dog Bite Law Apply if the Dog Had Never Bitten Anyone Before?
Florida follows a strict liability standard for many dog bite claims. This means prior dangerous behavior is not required to hold the owner responsible if the person bitten was in a public place or lawfully on private property when the bite occurred.
