Semi Truck Accidents

Florida Semi Tractor Trailer & Logging Truck Accidents

North Florida highways can be extremely dangerous for motorists unaccustomed to the hazards presented by long-distance semi trucks, construction equipment haulers, and logging trucks. Jacksonville lies at the junction of two of the busiest truck routes in the country, Interstate 10 and Interstate 95. the combination of heavy truck traffic, frequently wet weather, and the mix of semi truck and tourist traffic can result in severe highway accidents.

Contact the Law Offices of Ronald E. Sholes for advice and representation on personal injury or wrongful death damages related to semi tractor trailer or logging truck accidents. We know how to investigate the facts necessary to prove liability against the multiple defendants that can often be held to account in a truck accident case - the truck's owner, the trailer's owner, the maintenance contractor, the driver, or the driver's employer.

Our familiarity with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations enables us to get to the bottom of the most important questions relating to liability in a semi truck accident case:

•  Did the driver get sufficient sleep and time away from the road?
•  Was the driver properly trained and licensed?
•  Was the vehicle properly inspected and maintained?
•  Was the trailer oversize or overweight?
•  Does the freight company have a history of safety violations?

Just as we make a thorough analysis of the circumstances relating to the liability of one or more defendants, we also leave nothing to chance in documenting and presenting your losses. We work with medical experts to develop and offer evidence of your condition, prognosis, and need for future treatment. We use life care plan experts to identify the extent and probable duration of your reliance on home assistance, adaptive technology, and disability from work.

If you have lost a loved one in a trucking accident, we help ensure the jury understands the full extent of your loss. For a free consultation about your rights and legal options in a semi truck accident case, contact the Florida personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Ronald E. Sholes.
