Truck Accident Lawyer in St. Augustine Beach | Serious Injury Legal Help
Legal Help for Serious Truck Accidents in St. Augustine Beach and Coastal Florida
When an 18-wheeler or delivery truck collides with a car, motorcycle, or pedestrian, the results are often devastating. Due to their size and weight, truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death—especially on high-speed roads like U.S. 1, SR A1A, and I-95 near the St. Augustine area.
Over 10 Lawyers with Over 250 Years of Combined Legal Experience
As St. Augustine Beach Attorneys, we represent victims injured by commercial trucks, semis, delivery vehicles, and construction haulers. Our goal is simple: hold trucking companies accountable and secure the full compensation you need to recover.
Whether you’re a local resident or visiting tourist injured in a crash, we’re ready to help.
Common Truck Accident Scenarios in St. Johns County
We represent clients injured in a variety of commercial vehicle crashes, including:
18-wheeler and semi-truck collisions
Dump truck and construction vehicle crashes
Box truck or delivery van accidents (Amazon, FedEx, UPS)
Tourist shuttle and charter bus incidents
Rear-end and underride collisions
Truck rollover accidents
Accidents caused by drowsy, distracted, or speeding truck drivers
Due to Florida’s coastal layout and interstate traffic, truck traffic is especially heavy along beach roads, state roads and I-95 interchanges—creating a high risk of serious crashes.
Common Injuries in Trucking Accidents
Trucking accidents cause high-impact trauma that often leads to long-term or permanent injuries. We help victims recover damages for:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Broken bones and crush injuries
Internal bleeding or organ damage
Severe burns or lacerations
Amputation or loss of limbs
Emotional trauma and PTSD
In fatal cases, we also pursue wrongful death claims on behalf of families. Visit our Wrongful Death Attorney page to learn more.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?
Unlike typical car crashes, truck accident claims often involve multiple parties who may share liability:
The truck driver (for negligent or reckless driving)
The trucking company (for unsafe hiring, training, or maintenance)
The freight company (for improper loading)
The truck manufacturer or mechanic (for defective parts or poor maintenance)
Third-party contractors or brokers
We launch a thorough investigation, preserve electronic logging device (ELD) data, collect driver logs, and consult accident reconstruction experts to prove liability and maximize your compensation.
Florida Truck Accident Laws: What You Need to Know
Truck accident claims are governed by a mix of Florida personal injury law and federal trucking regulations, such as:
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules on rest hours and cargo weight
Florida’s comparative fault rules, which may reduce your recovery if you share fault
Two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims
Minimum insurance coverage requirements for commercial trucks
Our firm handles all legal filings, negotiations, and court representation so you can focus on healing.
