Orlando, FL Truck Accident Attorneys
Experienced Attorneys for Accidents Involving Commercial Trucks in Orlando, Florida
Truck accidents are among the most devastating collisions that can occur on Orlando's roads and highways. The massive size and weight of commercial vehicles often mean that when a crash happens, the damage suffered by victims is severe. Injuries in these cases are often catastrophic, and they may be fatal. Whether a truck accident takes place on a congested freeway, a delivery route through downtown Orlando, or a rural road in Orange County, victims may be left to deal with serious bodily harm, financial hardship, and emotional trauma.
The Doan Law Firm helps victims of truck accidents hold negligent drivers, trucking companies, and other responsible parties accountable. Our firm represents clients in complex personal injury cases, working to protect their rights. We investigate each crash thoroughly, gather evidence to support our clients' claims, and make sure they can receive maximum compensation through insurance settlements or litigation.
Types of Truck Accidents We Handle
Our Orlando, FL truck accident attorneys are prepared to assist with any and all commercial truck crashes, including:
- Jackknife Accidents: These crashes may occur when a semi-trailer swings out at an angle to the cab after a driver loses control. When a trailer blocks the road, this can lead to a multi-vehicle crash.
- Rollover Accidents: Trucks that are top-heavy are more likely to roll over when a driver loses control. These accidents can block traffic and crush nearby vehicles.
- Blind Spot Accidents: Large trucks have blind spots that make it difficult for truck drivers to see the vehicles around them. Failing to check these blind spots before changing lanes or turning can lead to sideswipes or other accidents.
- Wide Turn Accidents: Unsafe right or left turns by trucks can trap cars, pedestrians, or cyclists in narrow spaces, causing serious injuries.

- Federal regulations apply to commercial trucks, including hours of service limits for truck drivers and maintenance requirements.
- Multiple parties may be involved, such as logistics firms, cargo handlers, or leasing companies.
- Increased insurance coverage may be available, but trucking insurers are likely to aggressively defend against claims and try to minimize payouts.
- Extensive evidence must be preserved quickly, including driver logs, black box data, and inspection reports.
Because of these complexities, it is crucial to work with an attorney who has experience in trucking litigation.
