Know this

What makes truck accident cases different

  • 1

    Federal safety rules for commercial drivers (hours of service, maintenance, drug testing) can help prove fault.

  • 2

    Trucking companies usually carry much higher insurance limits than private drivers.

  • 3

    Key evidence like electronic logging data and dashcam footage can be lost if it is not requested quickly.

Checklist

Evidence to save now

  • The truck's company name and USDOT number (on the cab door)
  • Photos of the truck, trailer and cargo
  • Police report and any citation issued
  • Witness contact details
  • Medical records and bills

Florida

Rules that affect your claim

Filing deadline

2 years

For most injury claims (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a)). 2 years for negligence claims that arose on or after March 24, 2023 (HB 837). Older claims had 4 years.

Fault rule

Modified comparative fault (51% bar)

You can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, and your award is reduced by your share of the blame. Medical malpractice cases still use pure comparative fault. (Fla. Stat. § 768.81)

Car insurance

No-fault state

Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills and some lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash. You can sue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the state's threshold.

Pending attorney review. General information, not legal advice. Deadlines can be shorter for claims against government agencies and for some case types.
