Legal Help After a Jacksonville Truck Accident

A commercial truck accident can leave you with serious injuries, mounting bills, and an uncertain future. If you were hit by a semi-truck, delivery vehicle, or another commercial truck in Jacksonville, you may be entitled to compensation. At Brooks Law Group, we help accident victims fight for what they deserve.

Florida is a no-fault state, meaning your own insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages up to a certain limit. But commercial vehicle accidents often cause severe injuries that go beyond what your insurance covers. Our Jacksonville truck accident lawyers will investigate your case, determine liability, and fight for full compensation.

Why Truck Accident Cases Are Different

Commercial truck accidents are not like regular car accidents. These cases involve complex laws, corporate insurance policies, and multiple parties who may share fault. The trucking company, the driver, the truck manufacturer, or even a maintenance crew could all be responsible.

At Brooks Law Group, we handle:

  • Investigating truck driver records, vehicle maintenance logs, and black box data
  • Identifying all liable parties and building a strong case
  • Negotiating with trucking companies and their insurers
  • Taking the case to court if a fair settlement isn’t offered

 

We know how trucking companies and their insurance adjusters operate. Our team fights back to get you the compensation you need to recover.

Why Truck Accidents Happen in Jacksonville

Commercial trucks are heavier, harder to stop, and take up more space on the road. When something goes wrong, the results can be catastrophic.

Some of the most common causes of truck accidents

  • Driver Fatigue
    Federal law limits how long truckers can drive, but tight schedules push some past their limits, leading to slower reaction times and mistakes.
  • Distracted Driving
    Checking a phone, adjusting GPS, or eating while driving a semi can take a driver’s attention off the road for crucial seconds.
  • Poor Maintenance
    Worn brakes, bald tires, and steering failures can cause a truck to lose control, especially at high speeds.
  • Unsafe Cargo Loads
    Overloaded or unbalanced trailers make trucks harder to steer and more likely to tip over.
  • Speeding & Aggressive Driving
    A fully loaded truck needs twice the stopping distance of a car. Speeding or weaving through traffic makes crashes unavoidable.
  • Failure to Yield
    Trucks making wide turns or merging without checking blind spots can hit smaller vehicles in their path.

 

If any of these led to your truck accident, you may have the right to seek compensation beyond what your insurance covers. Our legal team can help you determine your next steps.
