Types of Truck Crashes We See in Miami
Commercial truck accidents can involve severe damage due to the size and weight of eighteen-wheelers and other large vehicles.
Common Collisions Include:
- Rear-End Crashes: Trucks require more time to stop, often leading to devastating rear-end impacts.
- Jackknife Accidents: A sudden skid causes the trailer to fold into the cab, endangering nearby vehicles.
- Rollover Incidents: Top-heavy trucks can tip over during sharp turns or when improperly loaded.
- Blind Spot Collisions: Truck drivers often fail to see vehicles in their no-zone areas.
- Underride Wrecks: Smaller vehicles can get trapped beneath a truck’s trailer, leading to catastrophic injuries.
Types of Commercial Trucks Involved:
From big rigs down to delivery vans, Stabinski Law holds all responsible parties accountable.
- 18-Wheelers and Semi-Trucks
- Delivery Trucks (Amazon, UPS, FedEx)
- Dump Trucks and Garbage Trucks
- Tanker Trucks and Cement Mixers
- Box Trucks and Flatbed Trucks
What Causes Big Rig Wrecks in Miami?
Many truck accidents are preventable and result from negligence or unsafe practices. Common causes include:
- Driver Negligence: Speeding, distracted driving, fatigue, or driving under the influence
- Improper Loading: Unbalanced or unsecured cargo that can shift during transit and cause accidents
- Federal Regulation Violations: Exceeding hours-of-service limits, overloading trucks, or unsafe routing
- Poor Maintenance: Worn-out brakes, defective tires, or neglected inspections
- Hazardous Conditions: Miami’s congested roads, wet weather, and construction zones exacerbate risks
Severe Injuries Can Result from Truck Accidents
According to the National Safety Council, there were 368 deaths from large truck accidents in Florida in 2022.
Truck Wreck Victims Often Experience Life-Changing Consequences
Truck crashes often result in severe injuries due to the massive size and force of these vehicles. Victims may face:
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Long-term cognitive and physical impairments
- Spinal Cord Injuries and Paralysis: Life-altering conditions requiring extensive medical care
- Amputations and Disfigurement: Permanent loss of mobility and independence
- Severe Burns and Scarring: Painful, life-threatening injuries from vehicle fires
- Emotional Trauma: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression
Your recovery is our priority—physically, emotionally, and financially.
Determining Liability in Miami Truck Accidents
Who Is Responsible for Your Injuries?
Truck accidents often involve multiple parties, and determining liability is critical. At Stabinski Law, we thoroughly investigate to hold the responsible parties accountable:
- Negligent truck drivers who violate traffic laws or safety regulations
- Trucking companies that push drivers to meet unsafe deadlines
- Maintenance contractors who fail to perform proper inspections and repairs
- Cargo loaders who improperly load or secure freight
- Truck manufacturers responsible for defective parts or equipment
- Government entities tasked with maintaining safe road conditions
Stabinski Law leaves no stone unturned in identifying all liable parties.
We Fight for Maximum Compensation for Your Truck Accident
We work tirelessly for just compensation so you can focus on healing.
Economic Damages
Economic damages include medical expenses such as hospital stays, surgeries, and rehabilitation. Victims may also recover lost wages and compensation for reduced earning capacity if time off work is required. Property damage to repair or replace your vehicle is another recoverable cost.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering caused by physical and emotional trauma. This category also includes compensation for loss of enjoyment of life, as well as emotional distress resulting from the crash and recovery process.
Wrongful Death Damages
In wrongful death cases, damages include funeral and burial expenses for a loved one. Families may also recover compensation for loss of financial support and household contributions, along with loss of companionship and guidance for surviving family members.
