Palm Beach Gardens and Beyond Representing Truck Accident Victims

Truck accidents are unlike ordinary car crashes. These collisions often involve massive vehicles, resulting in serious injuries and complex federal regulations. Victims face extended hospital stays, lost wages, permanent disability, and a long road to recovery.

Trust Our Experience

At Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., we bring more than 200 years of combined litigation experience to high-stakes personal injury cases, including those involving tractor-trailers, delivery trucks, and commercial haulers. Our team has recovered over $500 million for injured clients across Florida, and we’re frequently trusted with the most challenging trucking cases other firms turn away.

Why Truck Accident Cases Are More Complicated

Different laws and standards govern crashes involving large trucks. In addition to Florida traffic laws, trucking companies and drivers must follow federal regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These include rules on driver rest periods, vehicle maintenance, and cargo loading. Violations can lead to devastating accidents.

Addressing the Challenges of Truck Accident Claims

Our skilled truck accident attorneys know how to investigate FMCSA violations, uncover logbook tampering, and hold every responsible party accountable—from the truck driver to the company that hired them.

Unlike passenger vehicle crashes, truck accident cases may involve:

  • Multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, maintenance crew, cargo loaders)
  • Corporate insurance policies and aggressive legal defense teams
  • Federal regulations and industry standards
  • Data from black boxes, GPS systems, and driver logs

If you're dealing with any of these challenges, an experienced trucking accident lawyer from our team can help level the playing field.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

In Palm Beach Gardens and surrounding areas, we’ve seen truck accidents caused by:

  • Driver fatigue or distracted driving
  • Speeding or aggressive lane changes
  • Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
  • Equipment failure due to poor maintenance
  • Inexperienced or poorly trained drivers
  • Alcohol or drug use

Our truck injury attorneys will launch a full investigation into every crash. We gather black box data, maintenance records, dash cam footage, and driver logs to build a robust case that proves negligence.

The Serious Nature of Trucking Injuries

When a semi-truck or commercial hauler collides with a passenger car, the results are often catastrophic. We’ve helped victims suffering from:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Amputations and crush injuries
  • Burns and internal organ damage
  • Broken bones and long-term disability

If you’ve experienced this kind of trauma, a truck injury lawyer from our firm will fight to recover the full scope of damages, including medical expenses, lost earnings, future care needs, and pain and suffering.

Dear Schwed Law Office.

After speaking with Schwed Law, I felt she gave me hope. The minute I gave them my accident report, I was confident I was going to be taken care of. My personal injury left me in a lot of pain. I was frustrated and exhausted. I had horrible headaches, neck and shoulder spasms and many restless nights. This impeded special outings and meetings with family and friends. I knew the bills were going to be taken care of. So I just focused on getting treated for my injury and feeling better. I never once had to call to follow up on anything.

I was so impressed with how fast my case was settled. I am so grateful for how I was treated and cared for. I highly recommend the offices of Schwed Law. Their professionalism and expertise were enough to put me at ease with all my questions and concerns from the beginning.
