Faulty Equipment & Maintenance

Considering All Factors in Your Florida Truck Accident

Safely handling an 18-wheeler, semi tractor-trailer rig, construction vehicle or even a delivery/transport van involves skill and responsibility beyond what many of us are accustomed to in driving standard passenger vehicles. Although driver negligence — such as speeding, intoxication or inattentive, reckless driving — causes some accidents, faulty equipment or inadequate maintenance may also be significant.

If you have been injured in an auto accident involving a commercial truck, van or construction vehicle in Florida, we encourage you to turn to our attorneys for help with your claim or potential injury lawsuit. Beginning with a complimentary consultation, we can bring in a range of experts to investigate your case if necessary.

Uncovering Regulatory Violations, Defective Parts and Poor Maintenance

Often, an investigation reveals failed equipment or negligence in maintaining the vehicle, such as:

  • Incomplete or falsified maintenance logs — in violation of various state or federal trucking regulations
  • Defective, overworn, “retread” or otherwise unsafe tires
  • Problems with other critical parts such as brakes, axles, supports, and hitches
  • Supplemental equipment that impairs truck driver visibility

Corporate responsibility — and with it, the potential opportunity for very sizeable compensation in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit — may be a factor in your Florida truck accident caused by faulty equipment or improper maintenance. At FREIDIN-DOBRINSKY, based in Miami but handling cases statewide, we have obtained millions in compensation by taking on major insurance companies and corporate entities.

Statewide Representation for the Seriously Injured and Families Left Behind

If faulty equipment or another type of negligence caused your accident, serious injuries, or the wrongful death of a loved one in a fatal crash involving a truck, our lawyers will go the distance to prove it. In pursuing thousands of injury claims and lawsuits across Florida, including Polk, Broward, Palm Beach and Orange County as well as Miami-Dade, we have uncovered the true causes of accidents and held the proper parties accountable.
