Handling A Variety Of Commercial Vehicle Claims
Florida Statutes § 322.01 define a commercial motor vehicle as a vehicle that transports goods or paying passengers. Accidents involving commercial vehicles are different from standard car crashes because they involve complex liability. For instance, there may be three or more sources of liability in a commercial vehicle crash.
Our personal injury lawyers handle all types of commercial vehicle accidents, including:
- Semi-trucks, tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers
- Work and delivery vehicles
- Vans and company cars
- Construction vehicles
- Taxi and bus accidents
- Self-driving vehicles
- Rideshare vehicles such as Ubers and Lyfts
- Farm vehicles
- Wrongful death accidents
Our attorneys have experience bringing cases against owners and operators when their failures in maintenance or hours violations lead to fatal accidents. They have an in-depth understanding of the complex rules and regulations governing the interstate commercial vehicle industry. We also have a close network of medical, engineering and accident reconstruction consultants who assist us in commercial crash claims.
Commercial Vehicle Accidents That Cause Severe Injuries And Death
Due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, people who are involved in commercial accidents often suffer severe injuries such as:
- Paralysis
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Brain damage
- Severe blood loss
- Spinal cord damage
It is critical for victims to contact a personal injury attorney with significant experience in injury litigation. Our lawyers have the knowledge and experience to provide the quality representation you need. Under Florida Statutes Section 95.11, you have only two years from the date of an accident to file your personal injury claim.
