Fatal Truck Accidents in Florida

The loss of a loved one due to a fatal accident can be incredibly difficult to accept. Unfortunately, the state of Florida is no stranger to fatal traffic accidents. In 2022 alone, a total of 3,411 traffic fatalities were reported on our state's roadways. Nearly 350 of these deaths resulted from motor vehicle accidents involving large commercial vehicles and semi-trucks.

No matter how safe a person is while operating their vehicle, there is no way to guarantee the other people traveling near them will be as safe and considerate. We continue to see innocent people lose their lives as a result of driver negligence.

There are several factors that contribute to truck accidents taking place across Florida. Some of the most common include:

• Drivers who operate their vehicles while too tired.
• Drivers who speed to make it to their destination in time.
• Cargo companies who recklessly load trailers on trucks.
• Part manufacturers who offer defective or malfunctioning parts.
• Maintenance companies who fail to adequately check vehicles and inspect them.
• Truck companies who hire drivers who are unqualified.
