Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is it legal for an adult to ride in the back of a pick up truck in Alachua County?

A:

This is a good question and one that I am often asked as an experienced Gainesville personal injury attorney, specializing in motor vehicle accidents that often involve trucks. Yes. According to Florida law, it is legal to ride in a tuck's cargo area, if you are 18 years of age or older in any county in Florida.
