Orlando Truck Accident Attorney
Representing Truck Accident Victims in Orange County and throughout Central Florida
Any automobile accident is scary, but crashes involving trucks can be especially terrifying. Victims often sustain catastrophic injuries and are forced to deal with enormous medical bills.
If you suffered losses in a truck collision, you may be able to recover compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. These cases tend to be more complex than traditional car accidents, because, depending on the circumstances, multiple parties may be liable.

Our Orlando truck accident lawyer has over a decade of experience and a strong track record of success, having helped our hundreds of clients recover millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts. We are known for our effective advocacy and compassionate, personalized guidance. Your case is important to us, and we will fight to protect your interests from beginning to end.
Who Is Liable for a Truck Accident in Florida?
In an auto accident involving noncommercial vehicles, determining liability tends to be fairly easy. The negligent driver is potentially liable for damages that exceed what the injured party’s insurance covers.
Truck accident liability is not always so simple. The truck driver’s employment status, the cause of the crash, and other factors may influence who is liable. Our Orlando truck accident attorney will investigate your case and identify the legally responsible parties.
The following parties may be liable for losses sustained in a truck accident:
The truck driver
The trucking company
The truck’s manufacturer
The truck’s maintenance crew
The truck’s cargo loaders
We are available to discuss your legal options 24/7, so do not hesitate to contact us online or call (407) 392-4922. Our firm also handles claims involving boating accidents.

Recovering Compensation through a Florida Truck Accident Lawsuit
You will need to act quickly if you want to recover compensation for damages suffered in a truck accident. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to take legal action. If a truck accident kills a loved one, you will have two years from the date of their death to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
A Florida truck accident lawsuit can help you recover compensation for many types of losses, including:
- Medical bills
- Property damage
- Lost wages (including reductions in earning capacity)
- Physical suffering and mental anguish
- Loss of consortium
- Disfigurement
- Punitive damages
You may be able to recover some damages even if you were partially responsible for the truck crash. Florida follows pure comparative negligence laws, which means your share of the blame limits what you can recover. For example, if the court decided you were 10% responsible for the collision, a $100,000 damage award would be reduced to $90,000.
Our team at The Gray Law Firm, LLC will always fight to maximize your recovery. Many personal injury claims are ultimately settled out of court, but our Orlando truck accident lawyer is a skilled litigator who is ready to go to trial if we believe doing so will lead to the best result.
