Common Causes Of Truck Accidents

Why 18-Wheelers Wreck Florida Roads

Driver fatigue and Hours-of-Service violations on overnight runs. Overloaded or unsecured cargo shifting on ramps. Mechanical failures like worn brakes or blowouts. Poor training, speeding, distraction, or impairment behind the wheel. We translate FMCSA rules into clear liability theories juries understand.

Who Can Be Held Liable

Follow The Evidence, Name Every Responsible Party


The driver who made the mistake. The carrier that pushed impossible schedules or skipped maintenance. The broker that paired unsafe partners. The shipper that loaded cargo improperly. The shop that missed a defect. We identify every layer of insurance so recovery matches the harm.

How Truck Claims Differ From Car Crashes

Commercial Rules, Corporate Defendants, Higher Damages


Trucks bring federal regulations, electronic data, and corporate risk management teams to the fight. Our approach blends accident reconstruction with economic loss analysis so settlement talks reflect lifetime care, future wages, and household services, not just initial hospital bills.

What To Do After A Truck Accident

Steps That Protect Your Rights

Call law enforcement and request a thorough commercial vehicle report. Photograph skid marks, debris fields, and trailer positions if safe. Do not give a recorded statement to the trucking insurer. Get medical evaluation quickly. Contact Wooster Law so preservation letters go out before data is overwritten.

Truck Accident Questions Answered

Straight Answers When You Need Them

  • Do truck accidents have higher settlements than car accidents?

    Often, yes, because injuries and damages are greater and multiple parties may be liable. We pursue all responsible entities to maximize recovery.

  • The trucking company's insurer called me. What now?

    Do not give a recorded statement or accept an early offer. Refer them to your attorney so your rights are protected.

  • How long do I have to file in Florida?

    Personal injury claims generally follow the applicable Florida limitations period, and wrongful death timelines are shorter. Moving quickly preserves logs and black box data.

  • Can I sue the trucking company?

    Yes, when company negligence or employment relationships make the carrier responsible. We map contracts and control to reach corporate coverage.

  • What if the driver is an independent contractor?

    Labels are not everything. Control, dispatch, and equipment ownership can point liability at the carrier or broker. We sort the relationships and pursue all viable policies.
