When a Miami Truck Crash Changes Everything

A fully loaded semi-truck can weigh 20 to 30 times more than a car. That huge difference is why truck crashes so often cause permanent, life-changing injuries.

This page is for people and families facing catastrophic harm after a truck crash in Miami-Dade County. Maybe you are dealing with paralysis, a brain injury, an amputation, severe burns, or the loss of a loved one. If so, you are in the right place. This page is not about minor injuries or small accidents.

CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is a Florida-based firm. We handle catastrophic truck accident cases. We take cases nationwide. We serve clients in English and Spanish (se habla español).

The Catastrophic Truck-Crash Injuries We Handle

We handle permanent, life-altering injuries from commercial truck crashes. These are the kind that change how a family lives forever. That includes:

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis. A damaged spinal cord can cause permanent loss of movement and feeling. Paraplegia affects the trunk, legs, and pelvic organs. Quadriplegia (also called tetraplegia) also affects the arms and hands, according to the Mayo Clinic. Car and truck crashes are a leading cause of these injuries.
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI). These range from severe concussion problems to lasting trouble with memory, thinking, and daily life.
• Amputations and traumatic limb loss. The crushing force of a crash can cause the loss of an arm, leg, hand, or foot.
• Severe burns. Fuel fires and explosions in truck crashes can cause deep, disfiguring burns.
• Catastrophic back and neck injuries that cause permanent harm.

We also handle wrongful death claims. A death is the most catastrophic outcome of all. If a truck crash killed your family member, Florida law may let the family bring a claim. We handle these cases with dignity. We focus on what you can do next — never on graphic detail.

Why Truck Cases Are Different From Car Accident Cases

Truck crash claims are much more complex than ordinary car accident cases. That changes how you should handle them from day one.

Here’s what makes them different:

• More than one party may be at fault. The driver, the trucking company, the company that loaded the cargo, a repair contractor, or a parts maker could all share the blame.
• Federal and state rules apply. Trucking companies must follow the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and Florida law. These rules cover driver hours, driver training, maintenance, and cargo loading.
• Key evidence disappears fast. Electronic logging device (ELD) data, the truck’s engine “black box,” dashcam video, and maintenance records can be erased within days or weeks.
• Big insurers act right away. Trucking companies often send investigators to the scene fast. That’s why acting early matters.
• Bigger insurance coverage may be available. Commercial policies are usually much larger than personal car policies. That coverage can help pay for a lifetime of care.

What’s Included When You Hire CHG

When you hire us, we carry the full weight of the case. That way, your family can focus on healing. Our work includes:

• A full investigation. We work to secure the truck’s data, driver records, and crash-scene evidence. We send legal preservation letters (called “spoliation” letters) early. These letters stop the trucking company from destroying records.
• Building the damages picture. Catastrophic injuries cost far more than the first medical bills. We document current and future medical care, rehab, assistive technology, home and vehicle changes, lost future earnings, and pain and suffering.
• Working with experts. We team up with medical, job, and life-care-planning experts to prove your permanent needs. A life-care plan maps out the cost of care over your lifetime.
• Handling all communication. We deal with the insurers and the trucking company’s lawyers, so you don’t have to.
• Negotiation — and trial if needed. We prepare every case to be tried, not just settled.
• No upfront fees. We work on a contingency fee. You owe attorney’s fees only if we recover money for you. The first evaluation is always free.
• Bilingual service in English and Spanish throughout your case.

How the Process Works: Step by Step

Here’s what to expect, from your first call to the end.

1. Free case evaluation. We listen, answer your questions, and explain your options. No obligation.
2. Investigation and evidence preservation. We move fast to secure truck data and records before they are lost.
3. Medical documentation and life-care planning. We fully show how serious your injuries are and what they will cost over your lifetime. Doctors classify spinal cord injuries using tools like the ASIA Impairment Scale. This helps show how severe the injury is.
4. Identifying every party at fault and all available insurance coverage.
5. Demand and negotiation with the insurers and defense lawyers.
6. Filing suit and litigation if no fair settlement is offered. We are ready for trial.

A note on timing: Catastrophic cases can take time. That’s because your full future needs must be understood first. Florida also sets a deadline (called the statute of limitations) to file. For most negligence claims that arose on or after March 24, 2023, that deadline is generally two years, under Fla. Stat. §95.11. Deadlines can vary by case. So talk to a lawyer promptly. Don’t rely on a web page for your exact date.
