After a Florida Trucking Accident
Contact an Attorney at Morgenstern & Herd, P.A., in Tampa
As is the case of any other major metro area, the Tampa-St. Petersburg area is a magnet for trucking activity. The Tampa Port Authority claims on its Web site to be the largest cargo tonnage port in Florida, adjacent to home territory of 8 million people within 100 miles and serving as a shipping gateway to Florida and the Southeastern United States.
Cargo arriving from overseas by way of Tampa Port travels through the area on thousands of 18 wheelers that traverse the same busy highways and streets that cars to.
In addition, delivery trucks carrying goods within the metro area also compete with automobiles on roadways in the area.
Accidents happen — and when a traffic accident involves a car and a truck, it is usually the occupants of the car who are injured most seriously. Truck drivers may or may not be injured at all, depending on the type of accident. But a driver or passenger of a car involved in a car versus truck crash is very often seriously injured.
Morgenstern & Herd, P.A., has a great deal of experience representing people injured in accidents, including truck wrecks. One of the first steps in a truck accident investigation is to determine by way of the maintenance log whether driver fatigue may have been a factor. Evaluating the extent of the injuries and the injury victim's long-term prospects figure into the equation answering the question, "How will the victim's needs be met?"
