Trucking Companies Have Big Legal Resources. We Level the Playing Field.

Trucking accidents aren’t like typical car crashes. Injuries are often catastrophic, multiple parties may be liable, and trucking companies have legal teams working immediately after a collision. Critical evidence, including black box data and drive logs, can disappear. Garcia Sheppard handles trucking accident cases across Florida, Georgia, and Maryland. We move quickly, stay directly involved, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

More Than One Party May Be Responsible

The truck driver is rarely the only one liable. Depending on the facts of your case, responsible parties may include the trucking company, cargo loader, truck manufacturer, parts supplier, maintenance contractors, or broker.

Identifying all of them is critical. Settling too early with only one party can leave significant money on the table.

We investigate thoroughly to make sure nothing is missed.

Injuries We Handle

The size and weight of commercial trucks make these crashes far more dangerous than typical collisions.

Catastrophic injuries that require surgery, extended rehabilitation, or permanently limit your ability to work carry compensation that goes well beyond initial medical costs. Future care needs and earning capacity are part of what we fight to recover.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a trucking accident case different from a car accident case?

Trucking cases involve federal regulations, larger insurance policies, multiple potential defendants, and time-sensitive evidence. They’re more complex to investigate and litigate, and the available compensation is often significantly higher given the severity of injuries.

Black box and electronic logging device data, driver qualification files, maintenance records, drug and alcohol test results, and surveillance footage are all critical. Much of this is time-sensitive.

Do not give a recorded statement or accept any offer before speaking with an attorney. Adjusters work for the carrier. Their job is to limit the payout. Call us first.

The trucking company may still be liable depending on the relationship structure and how the driver was operating at the time. Independent contractor status does not automatically protect a carrier. 

Filing deadlines vary across Florida, Georgia, and Maryland. Missing the deadline eliminates your ability to recover compensation. Call us, and we’ll tell you exactly where things stand.
