Truck accidents on I-95, US-1, and throughout North Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County are devastating events that often result in catastrophic injuries or death. The average commercial truck weighs 80,000 pounds, compared to 4,000 pounds for a passenger car. This massive size difference means truck accident injuries are far more severe.
Why Truck Accidents Are Different
Truck accident cases are more complex than typical car accident cases because:
Multiple liable parties: The truck driver, trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, cargo loader, and maintenance provider may all share liability.
Federal regulations: The trucking industry is governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) with specific rules on hours of service, maintenance, and driver qualifications.
Electronic evidence: Modern trucks have electronic logging devices (ELDs) and black boxes that record critical data.
Insurance complexity: Commercial trucks carry much larger insurance policies, often $1 million or more.
