Whether a claim succeeds depends on how the crash happened, who was at fault, and how serious the harm is.<\/p>\n<p>People on foot or on bikes have very little protection when a large truck is involved. A delivery truck is far heavier than a person or a bicycle. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iihs.org\/research-areas\/fatality-statistics\/detail\/large-trucks\">Insurance Institute for Highway Safety<\/a> publishes large-truck fatality statistics that break out deaths among pedestrians and bicyclists. Check that page for the most recent published figures.<\/p>\n<p>Being hit does not automatically mean the driver was at fault. Fault looks at what each person did, the road and weather conditions, and whether the driver took reasonable care.<\/p>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers represents injured people throughout Florida. Igor Hernandez, a Florida-licensed lawyer, is responsible for this page.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a FedEx truck struck you on foot or on a bike, or took someone you love, you may have a claim worth reviewing.

Each party&#8217;s share depends on what it did or failed to do.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The company behind the delivery.<\/strong> Depending on the facts, the company that employs or contracts the driver may share responsibility for how it trained, supervised, and assigned the work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance providers.<\/strong> Brakes, mirrors, lights, and steering that are not kept in working order can contribute to a crash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other drivers.<\/strong> A motorist who cut off a cyclist or forced the truck to swerve may share fault.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida uses comparative fault, which means shared fault. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Florida Statutes \u00a7 768.81<\/a>, a court enters judgment against each liable party based on that party&#8217;s percentage of fault. Florida does not make each party pay the full amount.<\/p>\n<p>The same statute says a party found more than 50 percent at fault for their own harm may not recover any damages. That is why your own actions matter as much as anyone else&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Large Delivery Trucks Create Serious Dangers for People on Foot and on Bikes<\/h2>\n<p>Large delivery trucks create hazards that smaller vehicles do not. Their size and shape can hide people from the driver&#8217;s view, and their turns are wide.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blind spots.<\/strong> Areas directly in front of and beside a truck can hide a pedestrian or cyclist from the driver.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Right turns.<\/strong> A truck making a wide right turn can swing toward a crosswalk or bike lane.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Backing up.<\/strong> Trucks backing in parking lots, loading docks, and driveways can strike people behind them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conditions.<\/strong> Rain, low light at dawn and dusk, heavy traffic, and construction zones raise the risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Federal rules set equipment standards for trucks. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-393.80\">49 C.F.R. \u00a7 393.80<\/a>, trucks must carry two rear-vision mirrors, one on each side, that show the driver the road behind along both sides of the vehicle, unless the truck is built so the driver has a view to the rear by an interior mirror, in which case only one outside mirror on the driver&#8217;s side is required.<\/p>\n<p>Whether a mirror, a turn, or a backing move played a role is a question an investigation answers. These factors do not prove fault in every crash.<\/p>\n<h2>Injuries and Losses That Often Follow<\/h2>\n<p>A truck strike often causes injuries that change daily life for a long time. Common serious injuries include broken bones, internal injuries, road rash, amputation, traumatic brain injuries, and <a href=\"\/resources\/spinal-cord-injuries\/\">spinal cord injuries<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some injuries bring long-term effects. These can include <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paralysis\/\">paralysis<\/a>, chronic pain, ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and assistive equipment. People who work with their bodies or deliver for a living may also lose income and the ability to work.<\/p>\n<p>When a crash is fatal, Florida law lets the decedent&#8217;s personal representative bring the claim. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.20.html\">Florida Statutes \u00a7 768.20<\/a>, that claim is brought for the benefit of the decedent&#8217;s survivors and estate. Families facing this loss do not have to face the legal steps alone.<\/p>\n<p>Follow your doctors&#8217; treatment plans and keep every medical record. Those records also document the injury for a claim.<\/p>\n<h2>Evidence to Protect in the First Days After the Crash<\/h2>\n<p>Evidence can disappear quickly after a truck crash. Acting early protects what matters most.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0300-0399\/0316\/Sections\/0316.066.html\">Florida Statutes \u00a7 316.066<\/a>, for a crash that resulted in death, personal injury, any indication of complaints of pain or discomfort, or that involved a commercial motor vehicle, the investigating officer must submit a Long Form crash report within 10 days after the investigation is completed. Parties, their legal representatives, and their insurers may access it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Names and contacts.<\/strong> Write down witness names, the officer&#8217;s name, and the responding agency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Photos and video.<\/strong> Keep scene photos and video, including from nearby businesses and doorbell cameras.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Truck records.<\/strong> Federal rules require inspection and maintenance records to be kept for 1 year and for 6 months after the vehicle leaves the carrier&#8217;s control.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medical records and bills.<\/strong> Keep everything from the first emergency visit onward.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bike and property.<\/strong> Keep the bicycle, helmet, and damaged items. Do not repair or discard them before they are documented.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more on the first steps, read our guide on <a href=\"\/resources\/fedex-truck-accidents\/\">FedEx truck accident claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How a Florida Injury Claim Moves Forward, and Key Deadlines<\/h2>\n<p>A Florida injury claim usually moves through investigation, a claim to insurers, and a lawsuit only if a fair result is not reached.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>First consultation.<\/strong> The firm reviews the crash facts, injuries, and available records. The first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation to continue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation.<\/strong> This may include the police report, witness statements, truck records, and medical documentation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Claim to insurers.<\/strong> The claim goes to the responsible insurance companies. The documented losses drive negotiations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lawsuit, if needed.<\/strong> If the claim does not resolve fairly, a lawsuit may be filed in the proper Florida court. Discovery follows, which includes depositions, or sworn interviews taken before trial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Deadlines matter.
