Truck Accidents
Truck drivers carry the same responsibilities as all other drivers: they must drive carefully and attentively, so as not to endanger other motorists. In some ways, these responsibilities are even greater for truck drivers because the threat they pose to other motorists is so high. Commercial trucks are large, heavy and slow to stop; tractor-trailer accidents then tend to be somewhat more catastrophic than most other motor vehicle crashes.
For more than 30 years, truck accident lawyer Joe Horrox has helped Daytona Beach area residents who have been injured by a commercial vehicle. Our law firm has the resources and experience to assist clients with even the most complex and catastrophic injuries. If necessary, we can also move forward with a wrongful death suit on behalf of a victim’s family.
SEEKING COMPENSATION FROM ALL NEGLIGENT PARTIES
As with all other motor vehicle crashes, injured victims have a right to file a personal injury lawsuit against any negligent parties who contributed to the accident. Truck accident cases are unique, however, in that the injured party can take action against more than just the truck driver involved. In truck accident cases, negligent parties may also include the trucking company.
Trucking companies are responsible for hiring qualified employees, and for keeping their vehicles in good condition. Often, however, truck accidents are caused by under-qualified or poorly trained drivers, or by improperly maintained vehicles. If these were factors in your accident, we will seek out compensation from both the truck driver and his or her employer.
