Miami 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys
Miami is a major international trade gateway. Interstate 95, I-75, the Palmetto Expressway (826), the Dolphin Expressway (836), and Florida's Turnpike carry heavy commercial traffic, while PortMiami and Miami International Airport generate an enormous flow of cargo trucks.
That volume, on some of the most congested and fast-moving roads in the state, makes serious truck collisions common. If you were injured by a commercial truck in the Miami area, a lawyer experienced in Florida trucking cases can help you pursue full compensation.
Florida Law and Your Miami Claim
Florida overhauled its injury laws in 2023. The state now follows modified comparative negligence — a plaintiff more than 50 percent at fault cannot recover — and shortened the deadline for most negligence claims to two years.
Those changes make quick action essential. Preserving the truck's logs, black-box data, and maintenance records early can be decisive in a Miami truck accident case.
