According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), 13 million trucks operate in the United States, and many of them transport hazardous materials with drivers who are sleep-deprived and overworked. Of the millions of trucks operating each year, there were 5,601 fatalities during accidents involving at least one large truck in 2021, which is up from 4,964 in 2020.
Accidents involving trucks can result in a variety of injuries. A truck carrying hazardous materials could explode or spill its cargo, injuring other drivers and causing property damage. Additionally, trucks may jackknife or lose steering control, resulting in driver injuries.
Accidents involving semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles often result in traumatic injuries due to their size. If you were injured due to a negligent truck driver who was speeding, distracted, impaired, or failed to properly maintain his equipment, having a Florida truck accident lawer by your side is important to working with insurers to get you the compensation you deserve.
