Land O’ Lakes Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer
If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash with a large commercial vehicle, a Land O’ Lakes semi-truck accident lawyer can help you pursue full compensation. When a semi-truck collides with a car, the car’s occupants may suffer serious or fatal injuries. A semi-truck typically weighs 20-to-30 times more than a car, and the truck’s enormous size and weight can cause devastating damage.
Semi-trucks are hard to maneuver, accelerate, and brake, and their drivers must be especially alert and careful to be able to handle them safely. When they are not, the result can be tragic. Unfortunately, tragic semi-truck collisions happen far too often; there are nearly 5,000 fatal accidents every year in the U.S. involving large trucks.
If a recent truck accident seriously injured you, you may now face many challenges. You could be dealing with medical issues, adapting to new limitations, experiencing chronic pain, and trying to pay bills with a reduced income.

WHAT COMPENSATION CAN I OBTAIN IN LAND O’ LAKES, FLORIDA, FOR MY SEMI-TRUCK ACCIDENT INJURIES?
If someone else caused your truck accident, they should take financial responsibility for your injuries. Their negligence led to the crash, your injuries, and the challenges you’re now facing—like medical bills, pain, lost income, and possible long-term limitations.
Florida law gives you the right to sue when another person’s negligence harms you. If you’re seriously hurt, your injury-related losses can be significant. That means the compensation you receive may be substantial. It can cover your past, present, and future damages.
- Medical care, rehabilitation services, hospital stays, surgeries and other procedures, and medications
- Home care, medically necessary modifications to your home, and assistive devices, such as canes or wheelchairs
- Income losses because you can no longer earn as much as before, or you can’t work at all
- Physical pain and emotional suffering
- Diminished quality of life
- Your family’s loss of your companionship, guidance, and assistance
- Other damages recoverable under Florida law
A Dennis Hernandez Land O’ Lakes semi-truck accident lawyer will gather evidence that clearly outlines the full extent of your injury-related losses—including future expenses—and build a strong case to prove your right to substantial compensation.
If you lost a family member in a collision with a semi-truck, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit to seek compensation for the loss of your loved one, your emotional suffering, and the costs of your loved one’s medical treatment and funeral. Please contact our wrongful death lawyers to get the legal help you need at this difficult time.
WHO CAN BE CONSIDERED NEGLIGENT IN A LAND O’ LAKES SEMI-TRUCK ACCIDENT CASE?
To succeed in a semi-truck accident lawsuit or injury claim, you must prove that another party’s negligence caused or contributed to the crash. Often, the semi-truck driver caused the accident, but other individuals or companies may have acted negligently and bear legal responsibility for your injuries.
Other potential negligent parties include:
- the semi-truck’s owner
- the individuals or companies responsible for the maintenance and repair of the truck and its parts
- the manufacturers of the truck and the truck parts
- the owner of the cargo the semi was carrying at the time of the crash.
An experienced Dennis Hernandez Land O’ Lakes semi-truck accident lawyer can help you by putting powerful legal resources to work. Your lawyer will investigate the scene, identify the cause of the accident, and conduct research to determine who was responsible. By uncovering all potentially negligent parties, we help ensure you receive the full compensation you need and deserve.
WHY DO SEMI-TRUCKS CRASH IN THE LAND O’ LAKES AREA?
Negligent actions often cause semi-truck accidents. Common causes include:
- Drowsy driving, often because trucking companies pressure drivers to deliver cargo faster
- Speeding or driving too fast for road and weather conditions
- Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol
- Driving while sick
- Getting distracted and ignoring the road
- Failure of brakes, wheels, or other parts that were defective or not properly maintained
