Auto Accidents in Jacksonville: You’re Not Alone
With its growing population and busy roadways like I-295, I-95, and Beach Blvd, Jacksonville sees thousands of car accidents each year. Many of these collisions are caused by:
- Distracted driving (texting, eating, etc.)
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Drunk or impaired driving
- Failure to yield or obey traffic signals
Even a seemingly minor accident can lead to serious injuries like whiplash, fractures, concussions, and spinal damage. Florida law allows injury victims to pursue compensation for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
Trucking Accidents: More Complex, More Dangerous
Accidents involving commercial trucks (18-wheelers, delivery vehicles, etc.) often result in more severe injuries and greater legal complexity. Why? Because multiple parties could be liable — not just the truck driver, but also the trucking company, cargo loaders, or vehicle maintenance crews.
Trucking accident cases require:
- A detailed investigation of logbooks, black box data, and maintenance records
- A thorough understanding of FMCSA regulations and Florida trucking laws
- Aggressive negotiation with insurance companies and defense attorneys
If you've been injured in a trucking accident in Jacksonville, you need an experienced attorney who can stand up to the big transportation companies and fight for maximum compensation.
