South Florida Truck Accident Lawyer

Crashes involving large trucks often lead to life-changing injuries or even death. At Cohen Injury Law, we represent victims of trucking accidents across South Florida and fight to hold negligent drivers, companies, and insurers accountable.

These aren’t typical car accident cases. Trucking claims involve federal regulations, complex insurance layers, and powerful legal teams on the other side. We know how to deal with them, and we don’t back down.

Why Choose Cohen Injury Law for a Truck Crash?

We Know How the Industry Works

Trucking companies move fast after a crash to protect themselves. We move faster. We investigate immediately, preserve critical evidence, and work with experts to build a strong case.

Trial-Ready from Day One

From the start, we build every case with trial in mind. That preparation pushes insurance companies to pay what’s fair and puts us in position to win in court if they don’t.

We Don’t Get Paid Unless You Do

You never pay us upfront. If we don’t recover money for you, you owe us nothing.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck crashes happen for many reasons, including:

Distracted or fatigued driving
Speeding or aggressive driving
Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo
Poor maintenance or faulty brakes
Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers
Violations of federal trucking regulations

No matter the cause, we’ll get to the bottom of what happened and hold the right parties responsible.

These cases often involve multiple parties. Depending on the facts, we may pursue claims against:

The truck driver
The trucking company
A cargo loader or shipping company
A maintenance contractor
The truck manufacturer
An insurance company

We investigate every possible angle and pursue every available source of recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a claim?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. Don’t wait, evidence disappears fast in trucking cases.

Do I have a case if I was partially at fault?

Yes, as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Florida’s modified comparative fault rule allows you to recover compensation, but it will be reduced based on your share of responsibility.

Can I sue the trucking company, or just the driver?

Often both. Trucking companies can be liable for hiring unqualified drivers, failing to maintain vehicles, pushing unrealistic schedules, or violating safety laws.

What if the trucking company already contacted me?

Don’t sign anything or give a recorded statement. Call us first. We’ll protect your rights and handle all communication with them.
