Florida Dump Truck Accident Attorney for Serious Injuries

While dump trucks are necessary to many types of large-scale construction projects, they also present risks to motorists on Florida’s roads. When operated in an unsafe manner or not properly maintained, dump trucks can cause serious accidents that can leave victims suffering from life-altering or life-threatening injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured, you may be entitled to a significant financial recovery, and you should speak with a Florida dump truck accident attorney right away.

How Dump Truck Accidents Happen

Dump truck accidents can have a variety of different causes. This includes causes related to driver negligence as well as causes related to the truck itself. For example, when we represent victims of dump truck accidents in Florida, we look for evidence of factors including:

• Inadequate dump truck maintenance
• Dump truck defects
• Hiring unsafe, untrained or unskilled drivers
• Failing to conduct adequate driver background checks
• Failing to adequately monitor dump truck drivers’ safety records
• Forcing dump truck drivers to log long hours behind the wheel
• Carrying loads that exceed the truck’s weight rating and capabilities
• Speeding, tailgating and other reckless driving behaviors
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Driving while distracted (including talking on the phone or texting)
• Driving while fatigued

What Should I Do After an Accident?

Given the importance of conducting a prompt investigation, if you or a loved one has been injured in a dump truck accident, you should consult with an attorney right away. In addition to scheduling a free consultation as soon as possible, you should also:

1. Seek Medical Attention

See a doctor promptly. When you do, fully describe your symptoms, and be sure you know what you need to do in order to follow your doctor’s advice.

2. Collect Your Evidence from the Truck Crash

Collect any evidence you have from the scene of the accident. In particular, if you took photos with your phone, be sure to keep them to give to your accident attorney.

3. Keep the Details to Yourself

Avoid discussing the accident with anyone other than your truck accident attorney. Do not post about the accident on social media; and, if anyone contacts you about the accident, tell them that your attorney will need to speak on your behalf.
