Naples Trucking Accident Lawyer

Semi-Truck and 18-Wheeler Accidents in Naples

Large truck drivers play a major role in our nation's economy, making it possible for companies to move freight across the country and bringing goods to people wherever they need them. Semi-trucks also pose a major threat to drivers and passengers in all vehicles as the trucks weigh up to forty times more than normal passenger vehicles and are capable of causing devastating physical damage in a collision.

Trucking accidents frequently affect multiple vehicles and proving that the collision was caused by the truck driver and all other responsible parties is critical to undertake as soon as possible. Insurance companies representing trucking companies hire the most experienced adjusters, investigators, and attorneys to begin working to protect their interests almost at the moment of the accident. This is due to the fact that claims can be so large and affect so many people with severe consequences. Our job is to provide the accident victims that we represent with grounds for a personal injury claim to recover monetary damages.

Holding Negligent Truck Drivers Accountable

Commercial truckers are bound by strict guidelines in the operation of their vehicles, and violations of such laws may serve as proof that the driver is at fault. For example, the Hours of Service regulations enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration are in place to prevent drivers from staying behind the wheel while fatigued. Many drivers violate these rules, whether due to pressure from their employers to meet stiff delivery deadlines, or out of a mistaken belief that they can still drive safely.
