Florida Truck Accident Attorneys
When a commercial truck collides with a passenger vehicle, the consequences are almost always catastrophic. The size of a commercial truck vs. a standard sedan or pickup truck on Florida roadways means the impact is always hard, leaving the passengers in the vehicles colliding into a bigger, heavier truck at high speeds.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents on Florida Roadways
Truck accidents often result from negligence at multiple levels. Some of the most common causes include:
- Defective or Damaged Vehicle Parts – Faulty brakes, tire blowouts, or steering malfunctions can cause catastrophic crashes.
- Poor Maintenance or Lack of Maintenance – Trucking companies are required to maintain their fleets, but many cut corners to save money.
- Improperly Loaded Trailers – Overloaded or unbalanced trailers increase the risk of rollovers and jackknife accidents.
- Drowsy or Distracted Driving – Fatigued drivers who violate hours-of-service regulations pose a significant danger on the road.
- Lack of Screening and Training of Employees – Inexperienced drivers who aren’t properly trained put everyone on the road at risk.
- Reckless or Inexperienced Driving – Speeding, aggressive driving, or failure to adjust to road conditions contribute to severe crashes.
- DUI or Drug Use – Impaired truck drivers are a major hazard to public safety.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?
Truck accident cases are complex, often involving multiple parties who may share liability. At Nogues Dinetz, we conduct thorough investigations to hold the right parties accountable, which may include:
- Truck Drivers – If a driver was speeding, distracted, fatigued, or under the influence, they must be held responsible.
- Trucking Companies – Employers can be liable for hiring unqualified drivers, failing to train employees, or forcing drivers to meet unrealistic deadlines.
- Manufacturers – If a truck or part was defective, the manufacturer may be responsible for the resulting accident.
- Maintenance Companies – Third-party mechanics who fail to inspect or repair trucks properly can be held accountable.
- Supervisors & Trainers – If those overseeing drivers fail to ensure compliance with safety regulations, they may share in the liability.
