A car weighs only a small part of that. When the two crash, the injuries are rarely minor.<\/p>\n<p>This page is for people in the Miami area who were badly hurt in a crash. That includes crashes with a semi, tractor-trailer, box truck, dump truck, or other commercial vehicle. It is also for their families.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you are reading this from a hospital waiting room. Maybe you are speaking for someone who cannot yet speak. We understand.<\/p>\n<p>A Miami truck accident injury attorney at our firm handles these exact cases. We take on spinal cord injuries, paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, and fatal crashes. These claims need a deeper look than an ordinary car wreck.<\/p>\n<h2>The Catastrophic Injuries We Focus On<\/h2>\n<p>We focus on serious, permanent injuries. They have lifelong effects and huge future costs. Our practice covers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spinal cord injuries and paralysis.<\/strong> A spinal cord injury can cause permanent changes in strength, feeling, and body function below the injury, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/spinal-cord-injury\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20377890\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>. Car crashes are a leading cause. Paraplegia and quadriplegia (paralysis of parts of the body) often mean lifetime care. See our <a href=\"\/resources\/spinal-cord-injuries\/\">spinal cord injury<\/a> and <a href=\"\/resources\/paralysis-paraplegia-quadriplegia\/\">paralysis<\/a> pages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Traumatic brain injuries (TBI).<\/strong> Some brain injuries don&#8217;t show on the outside. But they can permanently change memory, mood, and the ability to work. Learn more on our <a href=\"\/resources\/traumatic-brain-injury\/\">traumatic brain injury<\/a> page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Catastrophic back and neck injuries.<\/strong> We handle permanent, disabling damage \u2014 not ordinary strains. See <a href=\"\/resources\/catastrophic-back-and-neck-injuries\/\">catastrophic back and neck injuries<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amputation and limb loss<\/strong> and <strong>severe burns.<\/strong> These can happen in truck fires and high-force crashes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fatal crashes and wrongful-death claims.<\/strong> A death is the most catastrophic outcome there is. We help surviving families with dignity and care. See wrongful-death claims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nscisc.uab.edu\/\">National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center<\/a> tracks the lifetime costs of these injuries. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christopherreeve.org\/todays-care\/living-with-paralysis\/stats-about-paralysis\/\">Christopher &amp; Dana Reeve Foundation<\/a> reports how many Americans live with paralysis. These numbers show why valuing a claim correctly matters so much.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Truck Cases Are Different From Car Accident Cases<\/h2>\n<p>A truck crash case is far more complex than a typical car accident. It involves more parties, more rules, and more evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what sets them apart:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More than one party may be at fault.<\/strong> Fault may rest with the driver, the trucking company, a separate cargo loader, a maintenance contractor, a leasing company, or a parts maker.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Federal safety rules.<\/strong> Commercial carriers must follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmcsa.dot.gov\/\">Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration<\/a> rules. These cover driver hours, maintenance, driver qualifications, and drug and alcohol testing. Ordinary car crashes don&#8217;t involve these rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electronic evidence that disappears fast.<\/strong> Electronic logging device (ELD) data, engine control module (&#8220;black box&#8221;) data, and dashcam or telematics records can be lost within days. This can happen if no one acts to save them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Big insurance and a strong defense.<\/strong> Commercial policies are large. Insurers and corporate legal teams start defending the case fast \u2014 often before you leave the hospital.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Building the case correctly and early can decide the outcome. That is why acting quickly matters.<\/p>\n<h2>What We Investigate and Prove<\/h2>\n<p>To win a truck case, we work to prove who was negligent (careless). We also prove how that carelessness caused the crash.<\/p>\n<p>Our investigation often looks at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Driver negligence:<\/strong> distraction, fatigue or too many hours behind the wheel, speeding, driving impaired, or unsafe lane changes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trucking company negligence:<\/strong> careless hiring, poor training, unrealistic schedules, or skipped maintenance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cargo and loading problems<\/strong> that cause loads to shift or trucks to roll over.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Equipment or manufacturer defects<\/strong> in brakes, tires, or couplings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We act fast to save this proof before it disappears. We send preservation (&#8220;spoliation&#8221;) letters. These tell others to keep the evidence. We pursue ELD and black-box downloads. We gather driver logs, maintenance records, the crash report, witness statements, and scene and vehicle inspections. We also work with accident-reconstruction, medical, and life-care-planning experts. They help us document the full, long-term impact.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Catastrophic Truck Accident Claim Can Seek to Recover<\/h2>\n<p>A catastrophic truck accident claim can seek money for two things. It can cover the harm you have already suffered. It can also cover the costs you will face for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the facts, a claim may pursue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Past and future medical care, surgeries, and rehab<\/li>\n<li>Assistive technology, wheelchairs, prosthetics, and home changes<\/li>\n<li>Long-term or lifetime care, shown through a life-care plan<\/li>\n<li>Lost wages and the loss of future earning ability<\/li>\n<li>Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life<\/li>\n<li>In fatal cases, the damages Florida&#8217;s Wrongful Death Act lets surviving family pursue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every case is different. We can&#8217;t promise any specific result or dollar amount. But we can build the strongest case the facts support.<\/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 keep you informed at each step.<\/p>\n<h2>Florida Deadlines You Should Know<\/h2>\n<p>Florida law limits how long you have to file a truck-injury lawsuit. That deadline changed recently. So don&#8217;t rely on old information.<\/p>\n<p>For most negligence claims that arose on or after March 24, 2023, the deadline is generally 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>. Wrongful-death claims have their own filing deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Florida also follows a modified comparative-negligence rule under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7768.81<\/a>. This is a rule about shared fault. A person found more than 50% at fault generally recovers nothing. And any award is reduced by their share of fault.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline is not the only clock. Truck data and physical evidence break down fast. The safest step is a prompt, free consultation. We can confirm the exact deadlines for your situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Families Choose CHG Personal Injury Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>Families choose us because catastrophic injury is our main focus \u2014 not a sideline.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Focused practice<\/strong> on life-altering injuries and fatal crashes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Licensed attorneys admitted to the Florida Bar.<\/strong> We&#8217;re Florida-based and also take cases nationwide.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resources<\/strong> to take on trucking companies, corporate defendants, and their insurers.
