Understanding Semi-Truck Accidents in Orlando
Truck accidents can result from various elements, often stemming from negligence, recklessness, or other preventable issues. Some common causes of truck accidents could include:
Driver Fatigue
Long hours on the road can lead to driver fatigue, impairing a trucker’s ability to react quickly and make sound decisions.
Distracted Driving
Distractions, like texting, eating, or adjusting the radio, can divert a truck driver’s attention from the road.
Mechanical Failures
Poorly maintained trucks pose a significant risk on the road.
Speeding
Excessive speed reduces a truck’s ability to stop quickly, increasing the likelihood of a severe accident.
Improper Loading
Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks can become hazardous, leading to accidents.

What Are the Hours of Service Regulations?
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.
One of these important rules is called the hours of service regulations which states how long a trucker can be on the road and when they must take rest or take breaks. In addition to protecting other motorists, these rules protect truck drivers from being too overworked by the company they work for. According to the hours of service regulations:
Truck drivers can work up to 14 hours in a single day but can only drive for 11 hours
Drivers must rest for at least 10 hours before starting a new workday
Truck drivers must take days off at regular intervals

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.
What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Truck Accident Claim in Florida?
After a truck accident, victims could be entitled to various types of damages, aiming to compensate them for their losses. Potential damages that could be recovered may include:
Medical Expenses
Compensation may cover all previous and future medical expenses related to the accident, including hospital bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and medication costs.
Lost Wages
Victims often face significant time away from work due to injuries. Recoverable damages may include compensation for lost wages and diminished earning capacity.
Pain and Suffering
Beyond tangible costs, victims could be qualified for compensation for the physical and emotional pain endured because of the accident.
Property Damage
Damages can include the cost of restoring or replacing the damaged vehicle and any other personal property affected by the accident.
Wrongful Death
In fatal truck accidents, surviving family members can file a wrongful death claim for compensation, covering funeral costs and emotional distress.
Punitive Damages
In instances of extreme negligence or willful misconduct, punitive damages may be sought to penalize the responsible party and deter a similar manner in the future.
