Clearwater Truck Accident Attorney

Have you been involved in an accident with a heavy truck or tractor-trailer? Due to the force and mass of a big rig, accidents caused by the negligence of their drivers can be serious, if not deadly. If you find yourself in need of a truck accident attorney in Clearwater, you can turn to the experienced team at Roman & Roman. Our Clearwater truck accident attorneys understand the rules for commercial truck drivers and trucking companies and how to properly investigate a truck accident and hold responsible parties accountable for the injuries and damage they have caused.

Experienced Clearwater Truck Accident Attorneys Will Make sure Florida Laws Have Been Followed

If you or a loved one is injured in a car accident caused by the negligence of the operator of a commercial truck, we will investigate the driver, truck owner, and the trucking company to determine whether or not all state and federal requirements have been met. This investigation will also include confirming whether or not the driver was properly licensed to operate the rig he or she was driving, medically cleared to drive, and whether or not pre-trip safety inspections of the vehicle were performed as required.

Federal trucking regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) cover every aspect of the trucking industry important for truck safety, including the maximum hours of service for truck drivers, weight limits for tractor-trailers, required safety equipment, inspection and maintenance of rigs, and more. Finding out that the trucker or trucking company were out of compliance with FMCSA regulations is often powerful evidence of negligence or fault. Not surprisingly, trucking company employees have been known to falsify log books and records to try and appear as though they were in compliance when they weren’t.

It takes a team of seasoned legal professionals to properly investigate a truck accident, uncover the cause or causes and build a case against the trucking company. At Roman & Roman, our Clearwater truck accident attorneys can help establish the fault of the trucking company and recover compensation in a multitude of trucking accidents, including those caused by the following:

  • Truck driver fatigue
  • Asleep at the wheel
  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Out-of-adjustment brakes
  • Brake failures
  • Tire failures
  • Inoperable turn signals
  • Unbalanced load
