Serving South Florida From North Miami Since 1988

When a truck accident upends your life or the life of someone you love, the consequences can be catastrophic. Truck accidents can be very serious. If you have been involved in a crash involving trucks and sustained an injury, then you should contact us immediately. The physical devastation, emotional trauma, and financial burdens often require more than just medical care—they demand skilled legal representation.

At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we bring over 35 years of experience representing truck accident victims throughout South Florida. When a truck comes into contact with an automobile, the car always loses. Our firm is here to fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve against truck drivers, companies, and others who may be liable.

What Is a Truck Accident?

A truck accident involves a collision with a commercial truck—such as a semi, tractor-trailer, or delivery vehicle—often resulting in severe injuries or fatalities. Trucks are many times larger and heavier than automobiles, less maneuverable, and unable to speed up, slow down, or turn as quickly, yet they share the same roads, amplifying the risks.

Even a minor misjudgment by a truck driver can lead to life-altering harm.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Personal Injury Cases

Truck accidents can stem from a range of factors. At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we’ve handled cases involving:

  • Driver Negligence: Fatigue, speeding, or distracted driving by truck operators.
  • Failure to Drive Defensively: Not anticipating other vehicles, despite trucks’ size and limited agility.
  • Poor Maintenance: Brake failures, tire blowouts, or uninspected equipment.
  • Overloading: Excessive cargo weight compromising control.
  • Regulatory Violations: Inadequate training, licensing lapses, or hours-of-service breaches.
  • Road Conditions: Hazards like slick surfaces or construction zones affecting truck stability.
  • Company Negligence: Hiring unqualified drivers or cutting corners on safety.

Because their size and weight make them more dangerous, commercial trucks and drivers must meet higher standards for training, licensing, and insurance. Unfortunately, enforcement of these standards isn’t always strict, and critics argue existing regulations fall short under a deregulation-friendly federal administration.

Symptoms and Long-Term Effects of Truck Accident Injuries

Truck accident injuries can shatter your life. Symptoms may emerge instantly or over time, requiring immediate action.

Common Symptoms of Truck Accident Injuries:

  • Severe pain in back, neck, or limbs
  • Headaches, dizziness, or confusion
  • Fractures or internal bleeding
  • Difficulty breathing or moving
  • Numbness or paralysis
  • Emotional shock or fear

Long-Term Effects:

  • Permanent disability or paralysis
  • Chronic pain or organ damage
  • Traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries
  • Emotional trauma or PTSD
  • Need for surgery, therapy, or lifelong care
  • Loss of independence or career

Why You Need a Truck Accident Attorney

Truck accident cases are legally complex. They often involve questions of whether a trucking company is liable for its “independent” owner-operator’s negligence. Though required to carry higher insurance, trucks may lack sufficient coverage for the severe injuries they cause. An in-depth knowledge of trucking regulations and law is key to recovering from not just the driver, but also the company and others responsible.

At Mark Wolin’s Law Office, We Will:

  • Investigate the crash, driver history, and company practices
  • Navigate federal and state trucking laws to identify all liable parties
  • Gather evidence like logbooks, maintenance records, and expert testimony
  • Negotiate with insurers or litigate for full compensation
  • Fight to cover your medical, financial, and emotional losses

Our investigative journalism roots and trial expertise ensure we tackle these intricate cases effectively.

The Value of a Truck Accident Case in Florida

The worth of a truck accident claim depends on injury severity, long-term needs, and the scope of liability and insurance coverage available.

You May Be Entitled To Compensation For:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Rehabilitation, therapy, or adaptive equipment
  • Long-term care or home modifications
  • Loss of quality of life

Mark Wolin has secured substantial recoveries for truck accident victims in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties, leveraging deep trucking law knowledge to tap all responsible parties and insurance sources.
