Why Truck Accidents Are So Deadly
Tractor-trailers, semis, and other large commercial trucks are massive, often weighing 10,000 pounds or more. According to federal data, large trucks are involved in about eight percent of all fatal crashes and account for 12 percent of total traffic fatalities each year. In 2022, 5,936 people were killed in crashes involving large trucks, 70 percent of whom were occupants of other vehicles. These statistics reflect the grim reality of trucking collisions and the catastrophic damage they cause.

Why Legal Representation Matters
Truck accident cases are legally and technically complicated. You must prove:
- The truck driver and carrier owed you a duty of care
- One or more parties breached that duty, by speeding, fatigued driving, improper cargo loading, poor truck maintenance, or defective vehicles or components
- This breach caused your crash and injuries
- You suffered real damages like medical bills, lost wages, or disability
Trucking companies and insurers employ teams of defense lawyers, investigators, and experts to minimize payouts. Without seasoned legal counsel, you risk being outmatched and undercompensated.

How Truck Crashes Happen
Truck accidents often occur on high-traffic corridors in and around Melbourne, including Interstate 95, U.S. 1, and State Roads 518 and 507. These roads see constant commercial traffic, especially I‑95, a central north–south freight route. Their congestion and speed limits can make them particularly dangerous for drivers sharing the road with large trucks.
Common truck accidents and causes in our area include:
- Rear-end collisions
- Underride accidents
- Wide-turn collisions
- Driver fatigue, violating federal hours-of-service regulations
- Poor maintenance or equipment failure
- Improper cargo loading
In every case, proving how and why the crash occurred requires immediate investigation, detailed documentation, and the ability to uncover evidence that trucking companies may not volunteer.
Proving liability requires an in-depth investigation to examine driver logs, maintenance records, black box data, and potential violations of federal trucking regulations.
Mann Law can take on all aspects of investigation and build a well-founded claim. We seek full compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and other relevant damages.
