Florida Semi Truck Accident Lawyer
Semi trucks (also called tractor-trailers, Mack trucks, big rigs or 18-wheelers) can be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. Because they’re so much heavier than a passenger car -- up to 20 times heavier -- they bring far more physical force to an accident, almost guaranteeing that the other vehicle will be badly crushed. As Florida semi truck accident lawyers know, this mismatch almost always means death or very serious injuries for the people in the smaller car.

The trucking industry is heavily regulated, with special licenses, weigh stations and restrictions on how long drivers can work without a break. Unfortunately, those laws are routinely ignored. Under pressure to make shipping deadlines, some truckers falsify their sleep logs or take drugs to stay awake. Unscrupulous trucking companies send their truckers out with bad brakes, tires or other equipment, or hire drivers with blatantly false licenses. This behavior would be unacceptable in any case, but it’s deplorable when it results in death or disabilities for unsuspecting drivers around them.
If you believe an irresponsible trucker or trucking company caused your semi truck accident, you should call the Florida semi tractor trailer accident lawyers at Weinstein & Scharf, P.A., as soon as possible. Accidents are a catastrophe for most drivers, but for trucking companies, they’re just a part of doing business. They move quickly to limit their liability for an accident, often showing up at the scene of the accident with paperwork for shocked or grieving victims. Don’t sign or agree to anything before you call the experienced Florida semi truck accident lawyers at Weinstein & Scharf, P.A. for help.
