Truck Accidents

Florida's West Coast Trucking Accidents Lawyer

If you were injured in a trucking accident, you may have experienced the terror of having a big rig bear down on your car or SUV. In a car-truck crash, occupants of the passenger vehicle typically sustain catastrophic injuries such as those that lead to brain injury, scarring from burns, paralysis, or death. The driver of the tractor trailer may well walk away from the wreck unscathed. At Woodruff Injury Law our firm helps clients recover full compensation after Florida truck accidents. We have offices throughout the St. Petersburg-Tampa area.

An attorney who knows how to untangle trucking accident claims

The most common cause of a trucking accident is driver error. Other contributing causes may include negligence on the part of the trucking company, defective equipment, debris on the road, an unbalanced load, or a sleepy driver who overdrove the hours allowed under Florida and federal highway safety regulations.

As a result of these complex relationships, a trucking accident victim may have claims against the driver of an 18-wheeler, the gravel company that loaded a rock hauler trailer, the manufacturer of defective tires, or the construction company that left debris on the shoulder. In addition, the injured person may have claims against his or her own auto insurance company, other auto policies, and a health insurance policy.

Attorney Woodruff knows how to identify all sources of compensation stemming from a truck accident injury claim, and how to coordinate those claims so you receive the maximum benefit possible.
