You need the help of a truck accident attorney to conduct your lawsuit. Let’s take a look at just how Miami traffic shapes a lot of these lawsuits.
Trucking Injuries Are Not Likely to Dissipate Any Time Soon
The Port of Miami is the shipping hub of the state. So much GDP (gross domestic product) ships out here and imports from other countries comes in. As a result, thousands of trucks each year head into Miami and then back out again. It is a big reason why the traffic is so congested and so dangerous. A truck injury is almost inevitable.
Just to give you an idea of the enormous flow of traffic, Port of Miami processes billions of dollars of imports into the city and onto trucks each year. Even with the 2019 infrastructure improvements to move traffic out of Downtown Miami and directly onto the highway, traffic is still bad and accidents are severe.
As an example, in 2014 14,000 Miami residents were seen in hospital emergency rooms for traffic-related injuries for a car or truck accident. Over a 1,000 were hospitalized overnight, and 99 died in these motor vehicle crashes. A big percentage of those were truck accidents. Any truck accident, no matter how “minor,” was recorded as data for research purposes.
In 2017, there were 34,247 fatal crashes in the U.S.. Of those, 4,455 crashes involved a heavy commercial truck. This goes to show that no matter how good the roads or how many improvements are made, truck crashes happen and will continue to happen. It’s up to you to decide how you handle what happens to you when you are in a truck crash or lose a loved one to a trucking accident in Miami.
The data can be found on on Floridahealth.gov as well as Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s website.
