Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accident Victims' Attorney
Truck accidents are usually severe, resulting in catastrophic injury or even wrongful death. For the victims of truck accidents, recovery can be a long road, requiring extensive medical care and long-term care needs.

At Oldham & Smith, we help the victims of truck accidents pursue fair compensation. Our firm never represents insurance companies, but focuses on victims' rights and financial recovery after an injury.

Take immediate action to assert your claim
In truck and commercial vehicle accident claims, taking legal action as soon as possible is important. Our lawyers will perform an immediate investigation to recover all pertinent evidence, including black box recorders, truck company logs, witness statements, accident reports, and hospital documentation. We will also preserve physical evidence, including the tractor-trailer involved in your accident to prevent it from going back on the road, if it was not damaged.
Causes of trucking accidents
One of the most important roles of an attorney is to determine the cause of the accident and identify all parties responsible for your injuries. Truck accidents can be caused by improper loading, failed maintenance, fatigued drivers, drug and alcohol abuse, defective parts, or inclement weather. The driver of the truck may or may not be responsible for your injury. As your attorneys, we will fully investigate your claim, identify the responsible parties, and seek maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and future care needs, as well as pain and suffering. We can also handle cases involving the wrongful death of a loved one.
We are experienced in claims involving:
- Truck collisions on I-75, I-4, the Florida turnpike, or anywhere in Florida
- Semi tractor trailer accidents and rollovers
- 18-wheeler commercial truck accidents
- Single vehicle truck crashes
- Negligent entrustment
- Car, pedestrian or bicycle/truck collisions
- Restaurant and bar owner's "dram shop" cases (when the truck driver was served alcohol prior to the accident)
- Railroad crossings
- Collisions involving city, county or state trucks or automobiles
- Construction zone accidents
- Spinal cord injuries and other injuries suffered in trucking accidents
Whether you are the driver of a truck involved in an accident, or someone else injured in a collision with a truck, we can help you pursue just compensation for your injuries. There is no attorney fee for an initial personal consultation with us about your trucking accident injury case. Many people do not have the money to hire a personal injury lawyer to protect their rights. If we are unable to recover compensation for you, you do not owe us a fee.
