Truck Accidents Lawyer | Sarasota Florida
You may need a truck accidents lawyer after suffering serious injuries in a crash. Especially relevant, trucks come big and small, commercial and passenger. At David Harris Law, we handle them all.
However, in this article we focus on commercial trucks.
Truck Accidents Lawyer Explains Trucking Risks
Large trucks transport most freight in Florida and U.S. Trucking is a trillion dollar industry. And, we see this locally throughout Southwest Florida—Sarasota, North Port, Nokomis, Englewood, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Sarasota Beach, Marco Island, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Manasota Key—with big rigs on our roads and highways.
Moreover, competition is stiff among truck companies. Accordingly, owners and drivers have strong financial motives to drive longer hours with shorter breaks. In addition, they do so regardless of federal and Florida law and regulations restricting their hours of service.
As an experienced truck accidents lawyer, I know a trucker may “push through” to avoid rush hour traffic snarls. Moreover, he or she may be anxious to get home for a weekend, or try to make up for time lost due to bad weather.
Furthermore, on average, a trucker drives 125,000 miles a year. Especially relevant, truck drivers must maintain daily logs of their route and drive time. As your truck accidents lawyer, obtaining a driver’s log is part of our investigation.
Sarasota Truck Accidents Lawyer Discusses Safety
With rigs on our local highways and roads than ever, and truck accidents are often fatal or cause catastrophic injury, driver fatigue is a public safety issue. Especially relevant, truck drivers may generally to drive 11 hours in a 24 hour period. Moreover, they must have ten consecutive hours off-duty to qualify for a new work period.
However, we know from research and investigations, as a truck accidents lawyer and common sense, some drivers exceed these limits. And, when driving excessive weekly and daily work hours, commercial drivers significantly increase their crash risks. Moreover, in Southwest Florida, we see our share of rollovers, driver mistakes, and fatal truck accidents far too often.
