Truck Accident Lawyer in Miami

Fully loaded tractor-trailers thunder through Miami daily — to and from the Port of Miami, along I-95, the Turnpike, and the Palmetto Expressway. When an 80,000-pound truck collides with a passenger car, the results are catastrophic. Truck accident claims are far more complex than ordinary car crashes, and Tacher Law has the experience to handle them.

Florida and Federal Trucking Law

Interstate trucking companies must follow strict federal safety regulations: limits on driver hours, mandatory rest breaks, drug and alcohol testing, vehicle inspections, and electronic logging of driving time. Violations — fatigued driving, overloaded trailers, bald tires, unsecured cargo — are leading causes of Miami truck crashes.

Liability often extends beyond the driver to the motor carrier, freight broker, shipper, maintenance contractor, or parts manufacturer. Under Florida law, employers are generally responsible for negligence committed by their drivers on the job. Florida’s modified comparative fault rule and the general two-year statute of limitations apply, but truck cases demand immediate action because critical evidence — driver logs, black-box data, dash-cam video — can be legally destroyed within months if not preserved.

What to Do After a Truck Crash

Call 911 and accept emergency medical care — adrenaline masks serious injuries.
If it is safe, photograph the truck, its license and DOT numbers, the company name on the cab, and the scene.
Do not discuss fault with the driver or the trucking company’s rapid-response investigators.
Contact a truck accident lawyer immediately so preservation letters can be sent before evidence disappears.
