You bring it when a loved one dies because of someone else&#8217;s negligence (carelessness). It is separate from any criminal case.<\/p>\n<p>This page is for families who lost someone in a crash with a large commercial vehicle. That includes a semi, an 18-wheeler, a tractor-trailer, a tanker, a dump truck, a box truck, or a delivery truck.<\/p>\n<p>It helps to understand two different processes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The criminal case<\/strong> is handled by the state. It can punish a driver, but it does not pay your family.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The civil wrongful-death claim<\/strong> is brought by your family. It seeks money to cover your losses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our firm focuses only on catastrophic and fatal injury cases. We work from Florida and take cases across the country.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Can File a Wrongful-Death Claim in Florida<\/h2>\n<p>In Florida, one person files the wrongful-death claim for the family. This is the personal representative of your loved one&#8217;s estate. It&#8217;s the person named in a will or appointed by a court to handle the estate.<\/p>\n<p>The claim can seek money for certain survivors. These may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The surviving spouse<\/li>\n<li>The children<\/li>\n<li>The parents<\/li>\n<li>Certain blood relatives who depended on the person for support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Families may be able to recover for losses like these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loss of the love, companionship, and guidance the person gave<\/li>\n<li>Loss of financial support the person would have provided<\/li>\n<li>Funeral and burial costs<\/li>\n<li>Medical bills for any treatment before death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Was there no will? Don&#8217;t worry. A court can appoint a personal representative, and we help families take that step. Every family&#8217;s situation is different. So we explain your options rather than promise a result.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Fatal Truck Cases Are Different From Ordinary Car Crashes<\/h2>\n<p>Fatal truck cases are far more complex than car crashes. More parties may share blame, and special safety rules apply. That complexity is exactly why acting quickly matters.<\/p>\n<p>Several parties may be responsible, not just the driver:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The truck driver<\/li>\n<li>The trucking company that employed the driver<\/li>\n<li>The company that owned the truck<\/li>\n<li>A maintenance contractor<\/li>\n<li>The company that loaded the cargo<\/li>\n<li>A parts maker, if a defect played a role<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Commercial trucks must follow federal and state safety rules that regular cars don&#8217;t. These cover driver hours, maintenance, and hiring. A broken rule can point to who is at fault.<\/p>\n<p>Key evidence can disappear fast. In the truck cases our attorneys handle, the most important proof often includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The truck&#8217;s electronic logging device (ELD), which tracks driving hours<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;black box&#8221; event data recorder<\/li>\n<li>The driver&#8217;s logs and daily records<\/li>\n<li>Inspection and maintenance records<\/li>\n<li>Dashcam or nearby security video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Large trucking companies and their insurers often start investigating within hours of a crash. Their defense teams move fast. Your family benefits from having someone protect your side just as quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Causes of Fatal Miami Truck Accidents<\/h2>\n<p>Most fatal truck crashes trace back to a preventable failure. The driver, the company, or both are usually to blame. The cause usually shapes who is responsible and what evidence matters.<\/p>\n<p>Common causes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Driver fatigue<\/strong> and broken hours-of-service limits<\/li>\n<li><strong>Speeding and tailgating<\/strong> on I-95, the Palmetto (SR 826), the Dolphin (SR 836), and Florida&#8217;s Turnpike<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overloaded or badly loaded cargo<\/strong> that shifts or spills<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poor maintenance<\/strong>, like worn brakes and bad tires<\/li>\n<li><strong>Impaired or distracted driving<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Weak hiring or training<\/strong> by the trucking company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A tire blowout points to maintenance records. A drowsy driver points to logs and ELD data. That&#8217;s why a full investigation matters.<\/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=\"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,#900000);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.

We find who is responsible, deal with the insurers, and pursue full compensation.

Then it moves to negotiation, and to trial only if needed.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free, confidential case evaluation.<\/strong> We listen and explain your options. There&#8217;s no obligation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation and evidence preservation.<\/strong> We send legal notices to preserve the truck, the data, and the records.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Naming the personal representative.<\/strong> We help identify who can bring the claim and which survivors may recover.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building the case.<\/strong> We prove fault and losses with expert support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiation.<\/strong> We deal with the insurers. We file a lawsuit if a fair deal isn&#8217;t offered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Settlement or trial.<\/strong> Any recovery is then distributed to the family.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Be ready for a realistic timeline. Complex fatal cases can take many months, sometimes years. We keep your family informed the whole way.<\/p>\n<h2>Time Limits: Florida&#8217;s Statute of Limitations<\/h2>\n<p>Florida law sets a deadline to file a wrongful-death claim. Waiting too long can end your case before it starts. Did the claim arise on or after March 24, 2023? For most negligence claims, the general deadline is two years, under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a795.11<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Truck evidence disappears far sooner than any legal deadline. Logs get overwritten. Data gets erased. That&#8217;s another reason to act early.<\/p>\n<p>Deadlines can vary based on the facts. Please speak with an attorney about the exact time limit for your situation. You can review Florida&#8217;s laws yourself on the state&#8217;s official site, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/\">Online Sunshine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Families Choose CHG Personal Injury Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>Families choose us because we concentrate on catastrophic and fatal injury cases.
