Hours of service regulations for truck drivers

Truck drivers are required to follow more regulations than other vehicles on the road because of how much catastrophic damage a truck can cause in the event of an accident.

Who is Liable After a Truck Accident?

Determining Liability in Truck Accidents

Liability after a truck accident isn’t always straightforward; in fact, more often than not, the actual driver of a truck is not the one held legally liable for an accident. Most often, the truck company the driver works for is held liable. The main reason for this is that trucking companies are often caught encouraging their drivers to break trucking regulations in order to save their company time and money.

At times the truck driver is the one held liable, especially if the accident was directly caused by their negligence, such as driving while drunk. There are other parties that can be held liable, although it happens less often.

These parties include a truck manufacturer or cargo loading team. The legal team at Angel Law Firm, PL, is experienced in investigating truck accident claims and is ready to help you today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Semi-Truck Accidents

Clear and Detailed Answers to Help You Understand Your Case

What are the most common injuries sustained in semi-truck accidents?
Injuries from semi-truck accidents can be severe due to the massive size and weight of these vehicles. Common injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal bleeding, and lacerations. Emotional trauma, such as PTSD, is also frequent among survivors. 
In Orlando, and throughout Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a truck accident lawsuit is typically two years from the date of the accident.

To ensure you don’t miss any critical deadlines, it’s advisable to consult with us as soon as possible after your accident.

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case. Immigration cases can take anywhere from a few months to several years, while personal injury cases depend on factors such as the severity of injuries and the cooperation of the parties involved.
