Although the trucking industry provides essential services by helping people transport goods and commodities within and outside the state, truck drivers have a duty to drive safely and responsibly to prevent accidents.

Of these mishaps, 27 people were killed, 57 were incapacitated while 1,053 suffered other injuries.

If you or your loved one have been injured in a trucking accident, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party. Alpizar Law, LLC is taking on reckless and negligent trucking companies on behalf of victims or families who have lost loved ones in an accident.

What Are The Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Florida?

Driver’s Negligence

Sometimes, drivers allow themselves to drive distracted, speed or drive while fatigued and causing accidents on the highways and interstates. Although there are federal rules regulating the number of hours a truck driver can be behind the wheel to prevent fatigued driving, many trucking lines and drivers collude to mess with records.

Driving Under Influence

It’s illegal to drive while drunk. Commercial drivers with a BAC of only 0.04% can be arrested. This is because a driver who’s impaired by alcohol may lose control over the vehicle and cause an accident leading to a catastrophic injury to the victim.

Defective Truck Parts

Sometimes truck accidents occur not due to the driver’s negligence or because they’re drunk, but as a result of defective truck parts. If an accident occurs due to the use of a defective part, the manufacturer or seller of the part can be held liable for the accident.
