Overweight trucks pose a serious threat to other vehicles on the road. An overloaded truck can impact a driver's ability to slow down or stop. The excess weight can also lead to extensive, devastating injuries if the truck is involved in an accident with another vehicle.
At the law firm of Fiol Law Group, our attorneys have decades of experience handling truck accident cases for clients throughout Florida. We can help you pursue compensation for your injuries, including medical expenses, lost wages and damages for your pain and suffering.

Knowledgeable in State and Federal Trucking Regulations
State and federal regulations govern the maximum weight of commercial vehicles on the road. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration limits the weight of a tractor-trailer or commercial vehicle to 80,000 pounds. Trucks loaded beyond this limit can affect the truck's maneuverability and lead to serious accidents with other drivers.
Our attorneys have an in-depth knowledge of state and federal trucking regulations. We will thoroughly investigate the cause of your accident by interviewing witnesses and collecting key evidence such as logbooks and black box data. We often consult with accident reconstruction experts in order to determine the cause of our client's accident and to prepare the case for trial.
