Trucking accidents kill thousands of people every year in the United States.

Studies show that excessive speeds and driver fatigue continually play large roles in a number of truck accidents that occur each year. Taking into consideration the speed and size of the trucks that are driven on Florida roads, the injuries that result from accidents with such vehicles are typically serious and permanent.

While the effects of truck accidents can be more severe, they occur for many of the same reasons as vehicular accidents, such as:

Failure to yield
Speeding
Reckless Driving
Driver fatigue
Oversized trucks
Oversized loads
Aggressive driving
Improperly maintained breaking systems
Lack of driver training
Lack of driver experience
