Orlando 18-Wheeler Accident Attorneys
Orlando is central Florida's transportation hub. Interstate 4 runs straight through the metro connecting Tampa and Daytona, while Florida's Turnpike, SR-408, and SR-417 carry a heavy mix of commercial trucks and the millions of visitors drawn to the region's theme parks.
That blend of freight and tourist traffic on crowded highways makes serious truck collisions common. If you were injured by a commercial truck in the Orlando area, a lawyer experienced in Florida trucking cases can help you pursue full compensation.
Florida Law and Your Orlando 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, electronic data, and maintenance records early can be decisive in an Orlando truck accident case.
Truck Accidents in Orlando, FL — Common Questions
How did Florida's 2023 law changes affect truck accident cases?
In 2023 Florida adopted modified comparative negligence — a plaintiff more than 50 percent at fault cannot recover — and shortened the statute of limitations for most negligence claims to two years. Acting quickly and proving the truck driver's fault matter more than ever.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Florida?
For crashes under the current law, Florida generally allows two years from the date of the crash. Because the deadline is now shorter, speak with an attorney promptly.

Orlando — The City We're Proud to Serve
Orlando is the anchor of central Florida, home to about 320,000 residents in the city and a metro area of more than 2.8 million.
Best known as the theme-park capital of the world — home to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando — it also has a fast-growing economy in technology, simulation, and healthcare.
Interstate 4 and Florida's Turnpike carry heavy freight and enormous tourist traffic through the region, and that volume, on some of the busiest roads in the state, makes serious 18-wheeler crashes a real danger. It is a city we are proud to serve.
