Fatigued or overworked drivers violating hours-of-service rules
Distracted or impaired driving
Improperly loaded cargo or unsecured freight
Speeding or aggressive driving on I-95 and US-1
Poor truck maintenance and mechanical failures
Negligence by trucking companies pushing unsafe schedules
Severe Injuries from Truck Crashes

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Multiple fractures and crush injuries
Severe burns from fuel fires
Internal bleeding and organ damage
Wrongful death
Florida Trucking Laws & Liability
Truck accident cases are more complex than car accidents because multiple parties may be responsible:
Truck Drivers – for negligent or reckless driving
Trucking Companies – for unsafe schedules, hiring unqualified drivers, or poor training
Cargo Loaders – for unsecured or overweight loads
Maintenance Providers – for mechanical failures due to poor upkeep
Unlike car crashes, these cases often involve federal regulations, including FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) rules.
Compensation for Truck Accident Victims
Our attorneys pursue maximum recovery for:
Emergency care, surgeries, and hospital bills
Rehabilitation and long-term medical treatment
Lost wages and reduced future earning potential
Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
Property damage (vehicle replacement/repairs)
Wrongful death compensation for families

FAQs: Truck Accidents in St. Augustine
Q1: Who can be held liable in a truck accident?
Multiple parties — the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, or maintenance providers — may share responsibility.
Q2: How are truck accidents different from car accidents?
They involve federal trucking regulations, larger insurance policies, and often multiple liable parties.
Q3: What if I was partially at fault?
Under Florida’s Comparative Negligence Law, you may still recover damages even if partly at fault.
Q4: How long do I have to file a truck accident claim?
In Florida, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within 2 years, though evidence is strongest when cases are filed early.

Many settle, but trucking companies fight aggressively. Having a trial-tested attorney like Josh Saxon gives you leverage in negotiations.
