What to Do First After a FedEx Truck Crash in Boca Raton<\/h2>\n

Get medical care first, and keep every appointment. Follow your doctors’ care closely. Tell them about every symptom, even small ones.<\/p>\n

Some injuries appear days or weeks later. Gaps in treatment can make those injuries harder to connect to the crash.<\/p>\n

If 911 has not been called, call now. Ask the officers how to get a copy of the crash report. Under Florida crash report law<\/a>, a Long Form report must be submitted within 10 days after the investigating officer finishes.<\/p>\n

Take photos of the vehicles, the roadway, the lane markings, and any visible injuries. Write down witness names and phone numbers while your memory is fresh.<\/p>\n

Then hold off on recorded statements to the insurance company or the trucking company. Wait until you have talked with a lawyer.<\/p>\n

FedEx Truck Accidents Boca Raton: Where Crashes Happen<\/h2>\n

FedEx truck accidents<\/a> in Boca Raton can happen on highways and local streets alike. Heavy delivery traffic moves along I-95, Florida’s Turnpike, Glades Road, Congress Avenue, and the commercial corridors that connect them.<\/p>\n

Multi-lane highways, merging lanes, interchanges, and stop-and-go traffic near shopping areas all add risk. A large truck needs more distance to stop and turn than a passenger car. When traffic bunches up, a heavy vehicle may not slow in time.<\/p>\n

Crashes on local streets can be just as serious. A collision at a busy intersection or in a shopping center parking lot can cause catastrophic injuries. The speed limit does not decide how serious the harm is.<\/p>\n

Who May Be Responsible When a FedEx Truck Is Involved<\/h2>\n

More than one party may share responsibility when a delivery truck causes a crash. The driver is one. The company that employs or contracts the driver is another. The vehicle owner may also be responsible. Sometimes a maintenance or loading contractor is part of the picture too.<\/p>\n

Whether FedEx owns a particular truck depends on the facts. These include the type of service, the contract, and the registration. The crash report and the records that follow help identify those parties.<\/p>\n

In a commercial vehicle crash, the driver’s hours, training, and vehicle inspections often get close attention. Federal rules generally require 10 hours off duty before driving. Within that window, a driver may drive a total of 11 hours. A driver may not drive after a period of 14 consecutive hours that begins when the driver comes on duty following 10 consecutive hours off duty (federal driving-time rule<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Claims may also look at how a company hired, trained, or supervised its drivers. In May 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II<\/a> that a state-law claim that a broker negligently hired an unsafe motor carrier falls within a federal safety exception.<\/p>\n

Injuries Commonly Seen in Truck Crashes<\/h2>\n

Truck crashes can cause injuries that range from bruises and sprains to life-changing harm. These include broken bones, soft-tissue damage, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis<\/a>, amputations, severe burns, and serious back and neck injuries.<\/p>\n

Some injuries surface later, after the shock wears off. That is why ongoing medical follow-up matters. Your doctors answer medical questions, and their plan should guide your care.<\/p>\n

Catastrophic injuries often bring long-term needs. These may include rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, home changes, and ongoing care. Keep records of those needs, from bills to therapy notes. Those records help show how the injury changes daily life. Our team focuses on the legal claim so you can focus on recovery.<\/p>\n

Florida Deadlines and Fault Rules That Affect Your Claim<\/h2>\n

Florida sets time limits for filing injury lawsuits. These deadlines apply to truck crash claims. Missing one can end a claim, so act early. The Florida limitations law<\/a> sets these filing periods.<\/p>\n

Florida uses comparative fault (Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.81(6)<\/a>). This means responsibility is divided by percentage. Federal trucking rules can run alongside Florida law in the same case.<\/p>\n\n
