Mausner Group Injury Lawyers, a South Florida personal injury firm led by truck accident attorney Eric Mausner, has launched a trucking accident resource hub on mginjuryfirm.com focused on the increase in commercial truck accidents across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. The hub offers South Florida residents detailed guidance on trucking accident claims, covering steps to take immediately following a crash through the federal regulations that can support a victim's case.
Florida ranks among the most dangerous states in the country for commercial truck collisions. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has documented tens of thousands of crashes involving commercial motor vehicles statewide in recent years, with a significant concentration along South Florida corridors such as Interstate 95, I-75, the Florida Turnpike and U.S. Route 27. The size and weight of fully loaded tractor-trailers, which can reach 80,000 pounds, means these collisions frequently produce severe and life-altering injuries.
"Trucking accident claims are among the most complex cases in personal injury law because they involve federal FMCSA regulations, multiple liable parties and injuries that often require long-term medical care," said Eric Mausner, founding attorney of Mausner Group Injury Lawyers. "We are building this resource hub so that truck accident victims and their families have clear, reliable answers when they need them most."
The hub currently includes four guides: "What to Do After a Truck Accident in Miami: A Step-by-Step Legal Guide" addresses scene safety, evidence preservation, FMCSA compliance and early actions that can impact a claim. "Who Is Liable in a Florida Trucking Accident?" examines how liability is determined, including multiple parties like trucking companies, fleet insurance carriers, maintenance contractors and cargo loaders. "Federal Trucking Regulations and Your Florida Claim" explains how FMCSA regulations govern driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance and cargo loading, and how violations can serve as evidence. "Common Causes of Semi-Truck Accidents in South Florida" details frequent causes such as driver fatigue, Hours of Service violations, distracted driving, mechanical failures, improper cargo loading and trucking company negligence.
Truck accident cases differ from standard car accident claims in several important ways. They often involve trucking companies, fleet insurance carriers, maintenance contractors and cargo loaders alongside the truck driver. Victims frequently sustain traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures and, in the most severe cases, fatal outcomes. Insurance companies representing commercial trucking operations are typically supported by experienced defense teams that act quickly to limit payouts.
The resource hub is designed to provide accident victims and their families with a clear understanding of how Florida law applies to their circumstances, what evidence carries the most weight and what to expect when pursuing a claim against a trucking company or commercial carrier. Additional resources addressing truck accident injuries, settlement timelines, wrongful death claims involving commercial trucks and related topics will be published throughout 2026.
