In 2019 in Hillsborough County, there were a total of 3,069 crashes involving commercial moving vehicles, 940 of them resulted in injuries and 22 of them unfortunately resulted in fatalities. In Pinellas County, the situation wasn’t much better with 1,413 total crashes resulting in 365 injuries and 2 fatalities. Truck drivers must adhere to stricter laws and regulations due to the significant risk moving vehicles this big poses on the road. Because fatigue and drowsiness are oftentimes the leading cause of trucking accidents, truck drivers have stringent “hours of service” they must follow and log. In addition to fatigue, there are other factors that may cause an accident, like speed, carelessness, bad weather, or simply a malfunctioning vehicle.
There are a few things you should be aware of if you get into a car accident with a truck, or if you are a truck driver who got into an accident:
- Before you speak with your insurance company you should consult with a personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies are in business to make a profit. Therefore, they will more than likely try to offer you less than what you truly deserve
- If you have spoken with your insurance company already, there is no need to panic, you should inform your personal injury attorney of all communications between you and your insurance company so that your attorney can devise a plan of action to help you get what you truly deserve
