Then protect the facts. These two steps matter most after a FedEx truck crash in Sunny Isles Beach. They shape everything that follows.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who has driven Collins Avenue (State Road A1A) knows how fast traffic can stall. Delivery trucks, rideshare cars, and drivers pulling into condos and hotels share the same lanes. Dealing with a large trucking company&#8217;s insurer on your own can feel like driving that stretch at rush hour with no map.<\/p>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is a Florida-based personal injury firm. We represent people hurt in accidents across Florida. Our cases range from everyday crashes to catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. Igor Hernandez, one of the firm&#8217;s lawyers, is the responsible lawyer for this page.<\/p>\n<p>This guide covers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The immediate steps to take<\/li>\n<li>Who may be responsible<\/li>\n<li>The Florida deadlines that apply<\/li>\n<li>What families can do after a fatal crash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This guide offers general information, not legal advice. Decisions about your medical care belong to you and your doctors. Please follow their care.<\/p>\n<h2>Immediate Steps After a Crash With a FedEx Truck<\/h2>\n<p>Call 911 and ask for medical help. Do this even if your injuries seem minor.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are safe, these steps can help protect your claim:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Write down the truck&#8217;s company name, unit number, and any DOT number on the vehicle. A DOT number is the U.S. Department of Transportation number that identifies a trucking company.<\/li>\n<li>Get the driver&#8217;s name and any identification the driver shares.<\/li>\n<li>Photograph the vehicles, skid marks, traffic signals, road conditions, and your injuries.<\/li>\n<li>Collect names and phone numbers from witnesses.<\/li>\n<li>Keep every medical bill, prescription receipt, and missed-work note in one folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster before you speak with a lawyer. An adjuster is the insurance company&#8217;s claims worker. Adjusters work for insurance companies, not for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Truck Crashes on Sunny Isles Beach Roads Carry Higher Stakes<\/h2>\n<p>A loaded delivery truck usually carries more force than a car. A heavier vehicle needs more distance to stop. That difference matters on busy streets.<\/p>\n<p>Sunny Isles Beach traffic is dense. Collins Avenue carries local drivers, visitors, and delivery vehicles. They pass condominiums, hotels, and shops. Frequent stops and turns add to the risk.<\/p>\n<p>Busy roads link into the rest of Miami-Dade County. Trucks often share the road with cyclists, pedestrians, and rideshare drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Federal safety rules apply to commercial drivers. Federal rules require drivers to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-395.8\">record their duty status for each 24-hour period<\/a>. These records can show how long a driver had been on the road. That can matter in a claim.<\/p>\n<h2>Who May Be Responsible After a FedEx Truck Crash<\/h2>\n<p>Several parties may be responsible after a truck crash. The right defendant (the person or company a claim is brought against) depends on the facts.<\/p>\n<p>The driver may play a role. So may the company that employs or contracts with the driver. The vehicle&#8217;s owner may also be involved. Maintenance and loading practices can matter too.<\/p>\n<p>Some FedEx deliveries are made by drivers employed by contractors or other companies. Who controlled the truck, and who hired the driver, can shape who a claim names.<\/p>\n<p>A claim can name more than one party. Insurance on commercial trucks can involve several policies. Federal law requires the Secretary of Transportation to set <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/49\/31139\">minimum financial responsibility levels for motor carriers<\/a>. A motor carrier is a company that moves goods by truck.<\/p>\n<p>A broker is a company that arranges transportation. Negligence means failing to use reasonable care.<\/p>\n<h2>Florida Deadlines and Fault Rules That Affect Your Claim<\/h2>\n<p>For most negligence claims filed after March 24, 2023, Florida gives two years to file a lawsuit. This comes from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Florida filing deadline statute<\/a>. Deadlines apply. Some cases have different time limits, so timing matters.<\/p>\n<p>Florida also compares fault. Under the <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 comparative fault statute<\/a>, in a negligence action a person found more than 50 percent at fault for his or her own harm may not recover any damages, but this does not apply to an action for personal injury or wrongful death arising out of medical negligence.<\/p>\n<p>Partial fault does not automatically end a claim. The rule bars recovery only when the injured person&#8217;s share of fault passes 50 percent. Shared fault is common in crashes. That is why the facts about each driver&#8217;s actions matter.<\/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<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.

The first weeks count.<\/p>\n<p>Florida requires a long-form crash report. For crashes that resulted in death of, personal injury to, or any indication of complaints of pain or discomfort by any of the parties or passengers involved, the long-form report must be filed within 10 days after the investigating officer completes the investigation. This rule, for crashes that resulted in death, personal injury, or any indication of complaints of pain or discomfort, comes from the <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 crash report statute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The parties to the crash, their legal representatives, and their insurers can access that report. Ask for a copy early. Keep your own record of the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Federal post-accident testing rules also run on a clock:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An alcohol test should happen within 2 hours. If it does not, the employer records the reasons.<\/li>\n<li>Attempts for an alcohol test stop after 8 hours.<\/li>\n<li>Attempts for a controlled-substance test stop after 32 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These limits come from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-06\/title-49\/section-382.303\">federal post-accident testing rule<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trucks also create valuable records. These include electronic logging device data, which tracks driving hours. They also include dashcam footage, GPS and dispatch logs, and maintenance records. These files can change or be lost. Written requests to preserve them can matter early.<\/p>\n<p>Accident reconstruction professionals and medical records reviewers can analyze this material. Send photos, notes, and witness names early. Let the facts speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<h2>Catastrophic Injuries From Truck Crashes: Spinal Cord, Brain, Limb, and Burn Injuries<\/h2>\n<p>Truck crashes can cause catastrophic injuries. These are serious, long-lasting injuries. They include spinal cord injuries, <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paralysis\/\">paralysis<\/a>, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, and serious back and neck injuries. Injuries like these can change work, home, and family life.<\/p>\n<p>Recovery may involve long-term care, rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, and changes at home. Your medical team decides your treatment plan. A lawyer does not.<\/p>\n<p>Keep a simple journal. Write down symptoms, appointments, treatments, and daily limits. Written notes help your doctors. They can also help your claim.<\/p>\n<p>Some injuries are not fully felt right after a crash. Adrenaline and shock can mask pain. An early medical evaluation matters, even if you feel lucky.<\/p>\n<h2>When a FedEx Truck Crash Causes a Death: Wrongful Death Claims in Florida<\/h2>\n<p>If a crash has taken someone you love, we are sorry for your loss.<\/p>\n<p>Families can bring a wrongful death claim. This applies when someone else&#8217;s wrongful act or negligence caused the death. The rule comes from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.19.html\">Florida wrongful death statute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The claim is brought by the decedent&#8217;s personal representative. The decedent is the person who died. The personal representative is the person legally appointed to handle the decedent&#8217;s estate. That person recovers for the survivors and the estate. See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.20.html\">personal representative rule<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Florida law sets out who may recover, and for what:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The decedent&#8217;s personal representative recovers damages for the benefit of the survivors and estate, and under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">damages statute<\/a> a surviving spouse may recover for lost companionship and protection.<\/li>\n<li>A spouse may also recover for mental pain and suffering.<\/li>\n<li>Minor children, and all children of the decedent if there is no surviving spouse, may recover for lost parental companionship, instruction, and guidance and for mental pain and suffering from the date of injury (though adult children cannot recover these damages in medical negligence claims).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">wrongful death damages statute<\/a> describes these rules.<\/p>\n<p>Each parent of a deceased minor child may also recover for mental pain and suffering. Deadlines apply to these claims. Time matters.<\/p>\n<p>Families often need practical help first. That can mean getting the crash report. It can mean preserving phone records and photos. It can also mean handling calls from insurance companies.<\/p>\n<h2>What a Claim May Involve: Insurance, Damages, and the Next Steps<\/h2>\n<p>Insurance is one part of a truck claim. The coverage available depends on the facts.<\/p>\n<p>Florida law defines economic damages. These are money losses, such as bills and lost income. They include past lost income, medical and funeral expenses, and other losses that would not have occurred but for the injury. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">comparative fault statute<\/a> sets out this definition.<\/p>\n<p>Florida law also allows recovery for mental pain and suffering in wrongful death cases. No lawyer can promise the amount of any case at the start.<\/p>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers may handle a case alone. It may also handle a case together with another law firm. When a referral is involved, the firm will say so.<\/p>\n<p>A first call is simple. You share the basic facts. The firm listens.
