Ocala Truck Accidents Tampa,  Florida

Ocala Truck Accident Lawyer

When a smaller vehicle tangles with a large commercial truck on a Florida roadway, the truck is likely to win. Unfortunately, the losers are often the passengers and drivers in the smaller vehicle. Truck accidents are responsible for thousands of deaths each year, with occupants of other vehicles having the highest casualties. If you lost a loved one in a truck accident or you were injured when struck by a truck, you need to speak to one of our Ocala truck accident lawyers at Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law.

Commercial trucks can weigh from 10,000 to 80,000 pounds, carrying a high price tag if they collide with a car, passenger truck, motorcycle or pedestrian. Those lucky enough to survive a truck accident may face catastrophic injuries that could impact their ability to work or earn an income and enjoy their life. Serious injuries also can cost a fortune in medical bills. If you were injured in a truck accident in or around Marion County, you need an Ocala truck accident lawyer to fight for your right to compensation to cover your financial costs.

Injuries Caused by Negligent Truck Drivers

There are many excellent truck drivers who are careful when behind the wheel of a big rig. There are also those who are negligent or are instructed to drive unsafely by their employers. Commercial truck drivers are expected to follow not only the state driving laws but also federal laws that regulate large trucks. When they break these regulations, they can cause serious injury or fatal accidents.

Truck driver negligence can be an important factor in an injury truck accident claim. If the driver was negligent and caused the injury, they could be liable for damages. The driver, as well as the company that employs them, may be responsible for injuries or loss of life caused by the accident. An experienced Ocala truck accident lawyer can investigate a truck accident to determine whether the truck driver was negligent and if other entities may be liable for financial damages. This can help ensure the victims are awarded the highest amount of compensation possible, which is always the goal of our Ocala truck accident lawyers.

Complexity of Truck Accident Injury Claims

Injuries and fatalities caused by a truck accident can result in a claim or lawsuit against the truck driver, their employer and a legal battle with insurance companies. These types of injury accident claims are complex and require the expertise of an Ocala truck accident lawyer if they occur in Marion County. Several critical factors must be meticulously investigated to build a strong case, including:

  • Driver Fatigue: Determining whether driver fatigue played a role in the accident, potentially stemming from long hours on the road without adequate rest breaks.
  • Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Drug Use: Investigating whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident, impairing their judgment and reaction times.
  • Speeding: Assessing whether the driver was exceeding the speed limit or driving too fast for road conditions, increasing the risk of accidents.
  • Unsafe Loading Practices: Examining whether the truck was improperly loaded or overloaded, leading to instability and increased chances of cargo spillage or loss.

Our Ocala truck accident lawyers at Ligori & Ligori look at all aspects of an injury case. If the truck driver was negligent, a claim might be made against several parties that are partially responsible. The victim of an injury truck accident should not attempt to make a claim on their own; likely, they will not receive the total amount of compensation they are due without an Ocala truck accident lawyer on their side.
