Injured By A Distracted Truck Driver In Florida? Get Experienced Legal Support From Pike & Lustig
Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reports that distracted driving claims the lives of over 300 people each year and leaves thousands of other drivers and passengers suffering serious personal injuries. It continues to be a common problem throughout the state, despite the risks and strict laws designed to prevent it.
For truckers, whose rigs may be 70 feet and can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, being distracted for even a few seconds is particularly dangerous. At Pike & Lustig, our Florida distracted truck driver accident attorney represents people injured in these crashes and their loved ones, helping them get the compensation they deserve. Common types of distractions among Florida truck drivers include:
- Texting and talking on cell phones or CBs while driving;
- Adjusting GPS or navigation systems;
- Staring at other vehicles or passing scenery;
- ‘Zoning out’ on monotonous stretches of road, known as highway hypnosis;
- Eating or drinking behind the wheel, common due to long hours on the road.
While distracted driving is a common cause of truck accidents in Florida, proving the trucker was distracted at the time is challenging. Without evidence, insurers are likely to deny or reduce your claim.
Our experienced Florida distracted truck driver accident attorney provides fierce legal representation and protects your rights. We can thoroughly investigate what happened and use witness statements, cell phone records, black box data, and testimony from accident reconstruction experts to show that distracted driving is to blame.
Whether negotiating with insurers or filing a truck accident lawsuit through the Florida courts, you can count on Pike & Lustig to fight for the maximum amount you need to cover property damages, medical expenses, missed income, and your pain and suffering.
