Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Volusia County

• Unsafe lane changes & blind‑spot conflicts on I‑95 and I‑4. We tie dashcam/ECM data to mirror checks and signal use.
• Following too closely & rear‑end impacts—stopping distances for loaded tractors are far longer than passenger cars.
• Driver fatigue / hours‑of‑service violations—we compare logs, fuel receipts, and GPS pings to spot gaps. See FMCSA Hours of Service for the baseline rules (external).
• Unsecured or shifting cargo—bills of lading, shipper contracts, and photos tell the story.
• Maintenance defects—worn brakes/tires, lighting failures, or steering issues revealed in inspection histories.
• Speeding or distraction—phone records, event data recorders, and telematics help prove it.

Injuries Common in Daytona Beach Truck Crashes

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) — from concussions to severe brain trauma; we document imaging, neuro evals, and cognitive changes.
• Spinal injuries — herniated discs, nerve compression, and spinal cord damage impacting mobility and work.
• Fractures and orthopedic trauma — ribs, pelvis, legs, and shoulders; surgical recommendations drive case value.
• Internal injuries — organ damage and internal bleeding; ER and follow‑up imaging are crucial.
• Psychological harm — anxiety, sleep disruption, and crash‑related PTSD symptoms.

Our settlement packages link each diagnosis to the crash mechanics, medical timelines, and future care so the insurer can’t shrug it off as “temporary.”

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Truck Accident?

Depending on the facts, several parties may share responsibility:

• Truck driver — negligence such as fatigue, speeding, distraction, impairment.
• Motor carrier/employer — unsafe hiring, training, dispatch, supervision, or hours‑of‑service compliance.
• Vehicle owner/lessor — maintenance failures or unroadworthy equipment.
• Shipper/loader or third‑party logistics (3PL) — improperly loaded or unsecured cargo.
• Parts/maintenance entities — defective components or negligent repair.
• Other motorists or road owners — sudden cut‑offs, dangerous work zones, or poor signage (special notice rules may apply).
