How Our Miami Truck Accident Lawyers Can Help

Truck accident cases are some of the most complex and high-stakes claims in personal injury law. The trucking company, its insurer, and its legal team will move quickly to protect their own interests, often before you’ve even made it home from the hospital. That’s why you want a firm that moves faster, stands stronger, and fights for you.

We Take Over Every Stressful Task So You Can Focus on Healing

From day one, we handle all communication with insurance adjusters, trucking companies, corporate lawyers, and medical billing offices. You won’t be pressured, confused, or taken advantage of, because we step between you and anyone trying to limit your claim.

We Conduct a Comprehensive, Independent Investigation

Truck accidents require more than a police report. And much of the evidence we need belongs to the trucking company. Our team quickly obtains and analyzes:

• Black box (ECM) data
• Driver logs and hours-of-service records
• Dispatch notes and delivery schedules
• Truck maintenance and inspection history
• Crash scene evidence, photographs, and surveillance footage
• Expert reconstructions

This deep dive allows us to uncover every instance of negligence, whether it’s a fatigued driver, a poorly maintained vehicle, or a trucking company cutting corners.

We Build a Case Designed to Maximize Compensation

Our attorneys work with medical specialists, vocational experts, and financial experts to fully document your injuries, future care needs, and long-term impact on your life. We calculate your damages with precision, so insurers can’t undervalue your case.

We Negotiate Relentlessly

We don’t accept lowball offers, and we don’t cave under pressure. If the insurance company refuses to do what’s right, our trial lawyers are ready to take your case to court.

We Stand With You Like Family

You’ll always know where your case stands, what comes next, and how we’re fighting for you. We also remain accessible whenever you need us. That’s the benefit of a boutique-firm feel with statewide strength.

What Makes Truck Accident Cases More Complex Than Car Accidents?

Truck accident cases involve far more moving parts than a typical car crash. Commercial trucks are governed by strict federal safety rules, and proving violations requires fast action and specialized investigation. On top of that, trucking companies and insurers send teams out immediately to protect themselves—not you.

Multiple parties may share liability, including:

• The driver
• The trucking company
• Cargo loaders
• Maintenance crews
• Manufacturers

Each typically has its own insurer, which makes these claims more challenging. And because injuries are often more severe, the financial stakes are higher, leading insurers to push back even harder.

Truck crashes also generate critical technical evidence that must be preserved quickly. Your legal team must preserve and obtain that evidence via a spoliation letter.

That’s why you want a team experienced in navigating these complexities. The Meldon Law truck accident attorneys in Miami know how to uncover violations, preserve evidence, and stand up to corporate defendants who won’t play fair.

Compensation Our Miami Truck Accident Lawyers Pursue

Truck accidents often result in substantial economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

These are the direct financial losses you’ve suffered because of the truck accident, and we calculate them using hard evidence, expert evaluations, and an assessment of your long-term needs.

Emergency Medical Care and Trauma Treatment

Truck crash injuries frequently require ambulance transport, trauma center care at Ryder Trauma Center or HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, emergency surgery, and hospitalization. We pursue compensation for every related bill.

Surgical Procedures and Long-Term Medical Care

Many victims need orthopedic surgery, spinal surgery, reconstructive surgery, or ongoing pain management. We calculate the full cost of future medical needs, not just current expenses.

Rehabilitation and Mobility Needs

This includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, mobility aids, prosthetics, durable medical equipment, and in-home nursing care.

Lost Wages and Work Interruptions

Truck accident injuries often prevent victims from returning to work for weeks or months. We recover your missed pay, including overtime, tips, and bonuses.

Loss of Earning Capacity

If your injuries limit your ability to work long-term or prompt a job change with lower pay, we document that loss and pursue the full value.

Vehicle and Property Damage

Commercial truck impacts often total vehicles. We recover replacement value and compensation for personal items destroyed in the crash.

Out-of-Pocket and Home Modification Costs

This includes transportation to medical appointments, home accessibility modifications (e.g., ramps, lifts, and bathroom changes), and childcare or household help required during recovery.

Non-Economic Damages

These damages reflect the human impact of the crash, including the pain, limitations, and emotional toll that don’t appear on bills but dramatically affect your daily life and future.

Pain and Suffering

Truck accident injuries are often severe and lasting. We quantify physical and emotional pain and suffering with medical documentation and expert testimony.

Emotional Distress and Trauma

Many victims experience anxiety, PTSD, sleep disruption, or fear of driving after a collision with a commercial vehicle.

Loss of Mobility, Independence, or Enjoyment of Life

If injuries limit your ability to exercise, work, travel, or participate in daily activities, we pursue compensation reflecting those losses.

Scarring and Disfigurement

We recover damages tied to visible injuries, burns, or surgical scarring that affect daily life and emotional well-being.

Holding the Responsible Parties Liable for Your Truck Accident Damages

Truck accidents rarely involve just one at-fault party. Holding the correct parties accountable is essential to getting the compensation you deserve, especially when corporate insurers and national trucking companies work hard to limit their exposure. Depending on the circumstances of your crash, one or more of the following parties may be liable:

• The Truck Driver: If the driver was fatigued, distracted, impaired, speeding, or violating federal safety regulations, we gather the evidence needed to prove their negligence.
• The Trucking Company: Carriers may be liable for unsafe hiring practices, inadequate training, pushing drivers to violate hours-of-service rules, poor maintenance policies, or improper supervision. They can also be vicariously liable for the driver’s actions.
• The Truck Owner or Fleet Owner: When a truck is owned by a separate entity, that company may share responsibility for maintenance failures or unsafe equipment.
• Cargo Loading or Freight Companies: Improperly secured or overloaded cargo can cause rollovers, jackknife accidents, and brake failures. These companies can be held accountable for violations that contributed to the crash.
• Maintenance and Repair Contractors: Shoddy inspections, skipped repairs, or negligent mechanical work often play a role in catastrophic truck failures.
• Manufacturers of Trucks or Parts: If brake systems, tires, steering components, or other truck parts fail due to defects, we pursue claims against the manufacturer under product liability law.
• Government Entities or Road Contractors: When dangerous road conditions, poor signage, or negligent construction-zone management contribute to a crash, government agencies or contractors may share liability.
