Why DIG Law

Why DIG Law for a West Palm Beach Truck Crash? Simple.

Commercial truck claims are not ordinary car accident cases. The motor carrier and its insurer may control electronic logs, vehicle data, dash-camera footage, inspection files, maintenance records, dispatch communications, and driver qualification documents.

DIG Law Group acts quickly to preserve that evidence, investigate whether federal or Florida safety rules were violated, identify all available insurance, and determine whether the driver, carrier, vehicle owner, cargo company, maintenance provider, broker, or manufacturer may share responsibility.

Preserve Trucking Evidence Quickly

Trucking companies may possess records that can change or be lost over time. Early action helps preserve electronic logs, vehicle data, camera footage, inspection files, and other evidence.

Multiple Parties May Share Liability

The truck driver, motor carrier, vehicle owner, cargo loader, maintenance provider, broker, shipper, or manufacturer may be responsible depending on the evidence.

What We Handle

Common West Palm Beach Truck Accidents

Truck traffic on I-95, Florida's Turnpike, Southern Boulevard, Okeechobee Boulevard, Military Trail, and other Palm Beach County routes can produce severe crashes involving tractor-trailers, delivery vehicles, dump trucks, tankers, and construction vehicles.

Each crash type raises different questions about driver conduct, cargo, maintenance, visibility, stopping distance, company policies, and federal safety compliance. Tap a category below to see the evidence that may matter.

Rear-End Truck Crashes ▾

A fully loaded commercial truck needs substantial stopping distance. Speed, distraction, fatigue, following too closely, brake condition, and event data may all matter.

Jackknife Accidents ▾

A trailer can swing out of line with the cab after hard braking, loss of traction, excessive speed, poor maintenance, or an improper maneuver, threatening several lanes at once.

Underride Collisions ▾

A smaller vehicle may slide beneath the rear or side of a trailer. Visibility, lighting, conspicuity markings, guards, lane position, and driver conduct can become central issues.

Blind-Spot & Sideswipe Crashes ▾

Large trucks have wide blind zones. Mirror setup, camera systems, turn signals, lane changes, driver attention, and surrounding traffic may help establish fault.

Wide-Turn Accidents ▾

Tractor-trailers need extra room to turn. A truck may strike or trap a nearby car, cyclist, or pedestrian when the driver fails to monitor the vehicle's path.

Rollover Accidents ▾

Speed, sharp steering, a high center of gravity, uneven cargo, tire failure, road conditions, or inadequate training can contribute to a commercial truck rollover.

Lost or Shifting Cargo ▾

Improperly secured or balanced cargo can fall into traffic, shift during a turn, or destabilize the truck. Loading records and securement practices should be investigated.

Brake, Tire & Maintenance Failures ▾

Inspection reports, repair invoices, maintenance schedules, roadside inspection history, and the damaged components may show whether a preventable equipment problem contributed.

Delivery & Box Truck Crashes ▾

Amazon, FedEx, UPS, moving, rental, and local delivery crashes may raise questions about employment, contractor relationships, route pressure, vehicle ownership, and commercial coverage.

Dump & Construction Truck Crashes ▾

Heavy construction vehicles may create hazards involving large blind spots, unsecured material, work zones, backing maneuvers, and multiple companies at a project site.

Tanker & Hazardous-Cargo Crashes ▾

A tanker collision can involve fire, toxic exposure, environmental response, specialized federal rules, and extensive corporate evidence.

Frequently Asked

West Palm Beach Truck Accident FAQ

The questions West Palm Beach truck accident victims ask most often, answered plainly. If yours is not here, call us. The case review is free.

Why are truck accident cases different from car accident cases?

Commercial truck cases may involve federal safety rules, company records, electronic vehicle data, multiple insurance policies, and several potentially responsible parties. Evidence controlled by a motor carrier may also need to be preserved quickly.

Who may be liable for a West Palm Beach truck accident?

Depending on the facts, potentially responsible parties may include the truck driver, motor carrier, vehicle owner, cargo loader, maintenance provider, broker, shipper, or a manufacturer of a defective truck or component.

What evidence should be preserved after a commercial truck crash?

Important evidence may include the police report, photographs, witness information, dash-camera footage, electronic logging-device records, engine-control or event-data information, dispatch records, inspection and maintenance files, driver qualification records, cargo documents, and drug or alcohol testing records.

Do federal hours-of-service rules matter in a truck accident claim?

They can. Federal rules limit driving and on-duty time for many property-carrying commercial drivers. Driver logs, electronic logging-device data, dispatch communications, and other records may show whether fatigue or scheduling pressure contributed to a crash. View the FMCSA hours-of-service summary.

What if improperly loaded cargo contributed to the crash?

Cargo that shifts, falls, or changes a truck's balance can cause rollovers, jackknifes, or loss of control. Liability may involve the motor carrier and, depending on the facts, a shipper, loader, or other company responsible for securement. View FMCSA cargo-securement rules.

How long do I have to file a truck accident lawsuit in Florida?

For many Florida negligence claims arising from accidents on or after March 24, 2023, the limitations period is two years. Different deadlines, notice requirements, and exceptions can apply, so the specific facts should be reviewed promptly. Florida Statutes §95.11.

Can I recover compensation if I was partly at fault?

Florida applies modified comparative negligence to many negligence actions. A claimant found more than 50 percent at fault generally cannot recover; at 50 percent or less, damages may be reduced by the assigned percentage of fault. Exceptions may apply. Florida Statutes §768.81.

What compensation may be available after a truck crash?

Depending on the facts, damages may include medical expenses, future care, lost income, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. Wrongful-death damages may be available to qualifying survivors when a crash is fatal.

Should I accept the trucking insurer's settlement offer?

Do not sign a release until the injuries, future care, lost income, available insurance, potentially liable parties, and the rights being released are understood. Commercial insurers may begin investigating immediately, so getting independent advice early can be important.

How much does it cost to speak with DIG Law Group?

The initial case evaluation is free. DIG Law Group handles personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning there is no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. The representation agreement explains the terms.
