Side-impact truck accidents often occur at intersections, but they can also happen during lane changes on busy highways such as I-95, the Palmetto Expressway, or the Dolphin Expressway. Basically, all roads that lead to and from the Port of Miami or Port Everglades.
Some of the most frequent causes we investigate include:
Our firm will thoroughly analyze police reports, witness statements, and any available traffic camera footage to determine the cause of your crash. We frequently uncover evidence of negligence in Miami T-bone truck crashes that helps strengthen our clients’ claims.
When a commercial truck weighing tens of thousands of pounds strikes the side of a car, there is little structure preventing the truck from intruding directly into the passenger compartment. This direct force often leads to life-altering or fatal injuries.
The height difference between a truck and a car is also a major factor. The high bumper and chassis of a semi-truck can ride over the door sill of a car, causing the point of impact to be at the head and torso level of the occupants. This is known as an override accident, and it significantly increases the risk of traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, internal organ damage, and crush injuries.
Our attorneys have seen the severe consequences of broadside collisions with commercial trucks in Miami and understand the extensive medical care and financial support victims require.
