Truck accidents occur every day throughout the panhandle and all of Florida, with hundreds of thousands of crashes reported annually.
Large commercial trucks play a critical role in transporting goods across the country. However, the large number of trucks on the road also means crashes involving these vehicles occur regularly.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's transportation data shows that hundreds of thousands of crashes involving large trucks are reported each year in Florida. These incidents include:
- Fatal crashes
- Injury crashes
- Property-damage crashes
Because trucks are significantly larger than most passenger vehicles, the occupants of smaller vehicles are often the ones who suffer the most serious injuries in these collisions.
BOTTOM LINE FROM TWWLAWFIRM.COM
👉 Florida truck accidents are more common than many people realize. When they occur, the size and weight of commercial trucks can make the consequences especially severe, making the need for an experienced legal team even greater than in a standard car accident.
