# What to Do After a Tampa Bay Trucking Accident | Brooks Law Group

According to authorities, two people were killed after their car turned through an intersection and was struck on the driver’s side by a semi-truck at a Tampa Bay intersection sending both vehicles into the center meridian. The truck driver was not injured and no charges have been filed.

Unfortunately, accidents similar to this one occur more often than we would like on our Tampa Bay roadways and highways. Determining who is responsible and negligent for a truck accident is not always easy. The assistance of an experienced Tampa Bay personal injury attorney who deals with truck accident cases regularly and understands the strict state and federal regulations governing the operation of trucks is required. At fault parties may be not only be the truck driver, but the truck driver’s employer, the manufacturer of the truck, or local government in charge of road maintenance and repairs.

Typically personal injury claims involving a truck are initiated by filing a claim against the owner of the truck and their insurance carrier. Expert witnesses may be needed to testify at trial. Negotiations may result in settlement, or the case may go to trial. While no one can predict the outcome of your case, having an experienced Tampa Bay personal injury attorney guiding you through the claims and negotiation process assures that your case will be handled with the utmost care and attention and increases the odds of a favorable settlement.
