Investigating the Causes of Truck Accidents
As Central Florida truck accident lawyers, we are dedicated to successful recovery of full compensation. When a trucking accident occurs, we promptly investigate. Our in-house private investigator hastens to the scene of the accident to photograph the crash site and gather evidence such as witness statements. We obtain law enforcement reports, and consult with traffic reconstruction and human factors experts to determine negligence that led to the crash. We obtain driver and company logs, and any information from GPS locators or on-board event data recorders.
Trucking accidents may be caused by a number of factors. Our South Florida truck accident attorneys investigate:
- The truck driver - Was he or she driving beyond the number of hours allowed by the federal Department of Transportation? Was the trucker under the influence of illegal stimulants, or drugs or alcohol? Were the driver's logs up to date and accurate?
- Truck maintenance - Were the brakes or tires worn? Did the tractor and trailer have all required lights and safety reflectors?
- The load - Was the truck overweight? Was the load unbalanced or improperly secured?
- The trucking company - Was the firm negligent in hiring or training the driver? Were maintenance issues ignored? Was the driver pressured to be on the road longer than allowed by law?
- Road conditions - Were there obscured signage or pavement defects that contributed to the crash? Was the driver going too fast for the conditions?
Injuries and Compensation in Truck Accidents
Collisions with 18-wheelers frequently result in spinal cord injury, brain damage, shattered bones, severe facial injuries, internal injuries, paralysis, severed limbs, serious burns and other catastrophic injuries. The Orlando truck accident attorneys of Greenberg & Stone, P.A. consult with life care planners to account for future medical care required by the victim over years or a lifetime.
