Shiner Law Group opens its Daytona Beach truck accident page with a blunt question for anyone hurt in a semi-truck crash: were you injured, and if so, do you have a case? The firm urges injured people to seek qualified legal representation right away and pairs that with a promise that a client does not pay unless the firm wins.
The page grounds its argument in the physics of a big rig. Large trucks, it notes, weigh 20 to 30 times more than small passenger vehicles and require 20 to 40 percent more distance to stop, a mismatch that helps explain why innocent people suffer severe injuries when truck drivers, trucking companies, or other third parties are negligent. Citing the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the firm points out that passenger vehicle occupants account for the majority of fatalities in trucking accidents.
Shiner Law Group also reaches for federal research, referencing the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Large Truck Crash Causation Study, published in 2014, which reviewed roughly 120,000 semi-truck accidents from the early 2000s and attributed more than 80 percent of those crashes to identifiable causes. The takeaway the page presses is that a Daytona Beach truck accident victim should act quickly to protect their rights and pursue the maximum available compensation.
