Winter Haven A Popular Tourist Destination That Draws in Many Motorists Each Year
Winter Haven's unique landscape and tourist attractions make it one of Central Florida's most popular destinations.
With 1,350 miles of coastline, Florida is an important hub for importing and exporting goods overseas. As freight trucks transport cargo from the ports to other parts of the state, they are becoming more present on roadways and more likely to cause truck accidents.
High volumes of traffic equal a higher risk of accidents every time you use the area's roadways.

Featured Truck Accident Case $5,600,000.00 Recovered
Moody Law represented a family of four that was rear-ended by a fully loaded semi-tractor trailer on U.S. Highway 27 en route to Walt Disney World. Tragically, one family member was killed and another suffered very serious injuries as a result of the truck crash.
During his deposition, the defendant (truck driver) admitted that he had violated the regulations set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. After working too many hours without proper rest, the driver was sleep-deprived when the accident took place.
Moody Law claimed punitive damages, and successfully recovered a $5,600,000 award for the family.

Justice for an Injured Client
"Awesome experience with moody law. An accident had me out of work for just over four months. They helped me navigate the process of getting reimbursed for my hospital bills, pain & suffering plus loss of wages. I hope I’m not in a position to need an attorney again, but if I do, I will certainly return to them."

Time Is Running Out
Florida's Statute of Limitations Gives You Just Two Years
To File a Personal Injury Lawsuit
If you believe that negligence or wrongdoing contributed to your accident, you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. However, it is important that you pursue legal action as early as possible. Unnecessary delays or inaction could hurt your case or disqualify you from recovering any compensation.
In Florida, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. For wrongful death cases, there is also a two-year time limit.
The best thing you can do to protect your case and ensure the best possible outcome is to contact a truck accident attorney immediately after your accident.
Other Local Laws to Be Aware of
Driver's Duty to Stop
Following a truck accident or car accident, Florida drivers are required to stop, exchange basic information with the other driver, and provide assistance to any injured persons. Drivers who leave the scene of the accident too early could face serious charges.
Driver's Duty to Report
If you are involved in a collision against a commercial truck or if your crash resulted in injuries, inoperable vehicles, or death, you are required to report your accident to local law enforcement.
Liability
If the truck driver was abiding by all rules and regulations at the time of the accident, the trucking company that they are employed by may be held liable for any damages.Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Trucking accidents can have several causes and are often complex because they can involve one or more parties when it comes to liability.
The most common cause is driver negligence. Other leading causes of trucking accidents include:
- Inadequate training
- Mechanical defects
- Driver fatigue
- Poor road and weather conditions
- Distracted driving
- Reckless driving
Having a skilled truck accident lawyer on your side is essential and will give your case the best chance for success.

Trucking Accident Risk Factors Dangers Associated With Large Trucks
There are several reasons why truck drivers must exercise extreme caution at all times behind the wheel:
Bigger Blind Spots
Commercial truck drivers have significant blind spots on all four sides.
Drivers cannot see vehicles driving directly behind or in front of them.
Stopping Distance
A tractor-trailer traveling at highway speeds needs around 600 feet to come to a complete stop. A passenger vehicle traveling at the same speed needs only 300 feet to completely stop.
Wide Turn Radius
Semi-trucks need more space when making right turns. When another vehicle is between the curb and a large truck making a right turn, the incident is called a squeeze play accident.
