Truck Accident Attorney Serving Florida
A collision with a commercial truck is unlike any other accident. The sheer size and weight of an 18-wheeler can leave victims with catastrophic injuries and life-altering consequences. What many don’t realize is that truck accident cases involve unique laws and regulations that go far beyond a typical car crash claim.
At Kris Torres Injury Law, we fight for individuals across Florida who have been harmed in truck accidents. From holding negligent trucking companies accountable to navigating federal safety regulations, Kris will approach your case with the focus and urgency it demands.
When you call, you speak directly with Kris, not a staff member or assistant. Let’s talk about what happened and what comes next.
Why Truck Accident Claims Are Different
Truck accident claims are highly complex because they often involve multiple parties - such as the driver, the trucking company, maintenance contractors, or even the manufacturer of defective parts. Federal and state trucking regulations set strict rules around driver hours, vehicle inspections, and cargo loading, and violations of these rules can make the difference in your case.
The injuries from truck crashes are often severe, including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death. Trucking companies and their insurers move quickly to protect their interests after a crash. That’s why it’s critical to have an experienced truck accident attorney like Kris Torres, who knows how to uncover violations, build strong cases, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be held responsible in a truck accident?
More than just the driver, potentially the trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader, or vehicle manufacturer depending on the facts.
Do truck drivers have different legal obligations than other drivers?
Yes. Truckers must follow strict federal and state regulations, including limits on drive time and maintenance standards.
Should I speak with the trucking company’s insurance adjuster?
No. Always speak to an attorney first. Insurance companies are trained to protect their bottom line, not your recovery.
What’s the deadline for filing a trucking injury claim?
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of the crash, but don’t delay, trucking companies may try to destroy or hide evidence quickly.
