As a result of the large size and incredible weight of trucks, an otherwise low impact accident can result in debilitating injury or wrongful death to drivers and passengers of smaller cars or SUVs. In fact, it is estimated that one out of every nine traffic fatalities is due to a trucking accident, and thousands of people each year are killed in truck related collisions. If you live in Miami or South Florida and have suffered a truck accident, the lawyers at the Law Offices of Robert Rubenstein, P.A., can help you obtain the compensation you need to get your life back. Our attorneys are dedicated to providing sound legal representation for injured individuals throughout South Florida.

Causes of Truck Accidents

Truckers must ensure the safety of their trucks. Safety inspections need to be performed on a daily basis and are even more important when weight is added to or taken away from a trucker's load. Weight must be properly distributed and secured to avoid tipping or rollover. Drivers need to ride in the right lane, keep adequate distance from smaller vehicles to ensure safe stops, and take care when passing smaller vehicles.

Sometimes these precautions are not enough. Most trucking companies pay their drivers by the mile; thus, drivers have an incentive to keep going even when they are tired, and this can lead to accidents. Also, many drivers turn to stimulants to keep them awake, including methamphetamine and cocaine. This further complicates matters and puts drivers and passengers in even more danger of being involved in a trucking accident.
