Representing the Rights of Clients Injured in a Truck Accident
Due to their size, weight and the number of them on the road, trucks that are hauling cargo across Florida and the country are dangerous to other motorists on the road. When a truck accident occurs, the ones to suffer serious injuries are often the drivers and passengers in the vehicles that were sharing the road with the truck.
At Sparkman & Sparkman, P.A., we understand the concerns that our injured clients have after a collision with a semi truck or 18-wheeler. These trucks are intimidating and recovering from injuries suffered in a crash can take a lifetime. Our firm is committed to standing up for our clients' rights and seeking compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
After sustaining a spinal cord injury, head injury or other serious injury in a truck accident, contact an attorney at our firm today in Tampa or St. Petersburg.
There can be a range of causes of a truck accident, including:
- Driver fatigue (falling asleep at the wheel)
- Driver negligence (speeding or reckless driving)
- Improper truck maintenance
- Defective truck mechanisms
- Overloaded or unbalanced cargo
Fatal Truck Accidents
Unfortunately, many truck accidents result in the death of a driver or passenger of an involved vehicle. While we understand that nothing can bring your loved one back, we help grieving families take action through a wrongful death lawsuit in order to obtain justice and possible compensation to deal with the loss.
