Florida Truck Accident Lawyer – Get the Compensation You Deserve


Fighting for Truck Accident Victims in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale & Beyond


Truck accidents are among the most devastating crashes on Florida’s roads. Due to their massive size and weight, commercial trucks can cause catastrophic injuries and even fatalities. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident in Florida, you need a skilled legal team that understands the complexities of truck accident laws, liability issues, and insurance disputes. At Lieberman Injury Law, we have the experience, resources, and dedication to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

Why Truck Accidents Are More Complicated Than Car Accidents

Unlike typical car crashes, truck accidents involve federal trucking regulations, multiple liable parties, and corporate insurance defense teams. Trucking companies and their insurers will do everything possible to minimize your claim. Our legal team is well-versed in these tactics and knows how to counter them effectively.

Common Types of Truck Accidents in Florida

Many truck accidents result from negligence. Some of the most frequent causes include:


  • Driver Fatigue: Truckers often exceed legal driving hours, leading to exhaustion and poor decision-making.
  • Distracted Driving: Using phones, GPS, or eating while driving can cause deadly collisions.
  • Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Cargo: Unbalanced cargo can lead to rollovers and loss of control.
  • Mechanical Failures & Poor Maintenance: Faulty brakes, tire blowouts, and other mechanical issues contribute to crashes.
  • Speeding & Reckless Driving: Large trucks require more time to stop, making speeding especially dangerous.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?

Truck accidents often involve multiple liable parties, which makes these cases more complex. Potentially responsible parties include::


  • Truck Drivers: If driver negligence (fatigue, impairment, or reckless driving) caused the crash.
  • Trucking Companies: If they failed to maintain the truck or pressured the driver to break safety laws.
  • Manufacturers: If a mechanical failure, such as faulty brakes, contributed to the accident.
  • Loading Companies: If cargo was improperly secured, causing instability or rollovers.


Our team at Lieberman Injury Law will conduct a thorough investigation to determine who is responsible and ensure all negligent parties are held accountable.

Steps to Take After a Truck Accident

After a serious truck accident, it’s crucial to take the right steps to protect your claim:

  1. Call 911 & Seek Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor, medical records will be essential evidence.
  2. Document the Scene: Take photos of the vehicles, injuries, and road conditions.
  3. Get Contact Information: Exchange details with the truck driver and witnesses.
  4. Do NOT Talk to Insurance Adjusters: Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim. Let your lawyer handle negotiations.
  5. Contact a Truck Accident Lawyer: The sooner you have legal representation, the stronger your case will be.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Florida?

    In Florida, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, the sooner you take legal action, the better your chances of gathering strong evidence.

  • Can I still get compensation if I was partially at fault?

    Yes. Florida follows negligence laws, meaning you can still recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

  • What if the truck driver was working for a company?

    If the truck driver was on duty, the trucking company may also be held liable for your damages under vicarious liability laws.

  • What does it cost to hire a truck accident lawyer?

    At Lieberman Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.
