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.

If you were injured or a family member was killed in an accident involving a local commercial truck or van, or an interstate semi or tractor-trailer, talk to an injury attorney with truck accident experience.

Thorough Investigation Brings Full Compensation

At KO, our attorneys are familiar with the Florida and Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations that apply to truck drivers and trucking companies. Our investigators act quickly to preserve evidence before the trucking company loses it, such as driver logbooks, truck maintenance records, and GPS equipment.

We investigate the background of the truck driver. Had he or she been involved in previous accidents? Did he or she have proper training from the company? Did he or she have a drunk driving record?
We also investigate the trucking company. Do they have a history of accidents caused by negligent maintenance or overloading of trucks?
