If you are a victim of a truck accident in Miami, it is critical that you have an experienced, high quality attorney on your side. The insurance company for the truck that caused your injuries will certainly have high-level attorneys trying to save the company (whether the company is insured via a third party or self-insured) money. Don’t assume that because you were involved in a truck accident in Miami and the truck was operated by an employee of a large company that you will have immediate access to fair compensation for your suffering. You will not. At every level, for every type of accident, the goal of any insurance company is to pay out as little as it can in claims. And with one out of every eight accident fatalities resulting from large trucks and other commercial vehicles, it is very important that if you or a loved one are a victim of such an accident that you contact an experienced Miami truck accident lawyer.
Although the number of accidents involving commercial trucks continues to rise, not much is being done to improve driving safety regulations. Given their size, the long hours drivers are on the road and the failure of some drivers to obey the posted speed limit in order not to miss deadlines or deliver items late, it is no wonder that these collisions are on the rise. Human error, mechanical failures, negligent hiring, intoxication, failure to inspect company trucks, and failing to maintain vehicles in good working order are some other main causes of truck accidents.
