Accidents Related to Trucking Companies

Truck companies have a huge responsibility to the public. Truck companies are responsible for the commercial trucks on the road. These vehicles transport products and raw materials to stores, businesses, and a range of organizations across the state and across the country. We rely on commercial trucks in order to be able to enjoy groceries in our stores and products at our favorite retailers. Truck companies also have a huge responsibility to follow local and federal laws regarding safe maintenance and operation of trucks. When truck companies are negligent and fail to follow the rules, terrible truck accidents in Miami are often the result.

If you have been injured in a truck accident in Miami, you will want to contact a local personal injury attorney in order to discuss your case. A truck accident attorney can investigate your accident, can help you understand the cost of your injuries, can negotiate with insurance companies, and can represent you if you decide to file a legal claim. In many cases, attorneys are able to get fairer compensation on behalf of clients because they understand the costs of most injuries and the laws and regulations which protect drivers on the roads of Miami.

How are Truck Companies Held Liable?

Many truck companies strive to follow safety rules and maintain good safety records. After all, safety is good business and can help companies avoid accidents and soaring insurance rates. However, not all truck companies are conscientious. There are many things that truck companies can do that can lead to truck accidents in Miami:

  • Not maintain trucks correctly
  • Place knowingly unsafe trucks on the road
  • Not screen and monitor drivers correctly
  • Not train drivers correctly
  • Allow overweight trucks on the roads
  • Institute policies which encourage trucks to be overloaded and drivers to speed or exceed safe driving distances
What You can do to Protect Your Family if You Have Been in a Truck Accident in Miami
