Truck accidents are among the most catastrophic collisions on Florida roads.

Mill Stone Legal Group specializes in truck accident cases and offers free case evaluations so you can understand your rights and options without any financial pressure.

(754) 227-1610Truck accident cases in Florida are fundamentally different from standard car accident claims. Commercial trucks are subject to federal and state regulations governing driver hours, vehicle maintenance, cargo loading, and licensing — and when those rules are violated, multiple parties may share liability, including the driver, the trucking company, and even the cargo loader. Proving fault requires a thorough investigation that most victims are not equipped to handle alone.
Florida's comparative negligence law also plays a significant role in truck accident claims. If you are found partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced proportionally — and insurers will work hard to assign as much blame to you as possible. Mill Stone Legal Group has the experience to cut through those tactics, build a compelling liability case, and fight for every dollar of compensation you are entitled to receive.
Truck accidents involving 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles can occur for a wide range of reasons. Understanding the cause of your accident is the first step toward identifying who is liable and what compensation you may be owed.
Hours-of-service regulations exist for a reason. When trucking companies push drivers beyond legal limits, exhausted drivers make catastrophic mistakes.
Phone use, GPS adjustments, and other distractions behind the wheel of a massive commercial vehicle dramatically increase the risk of a serious collision.
Brake failures, tire blowouts, and other mechanical issues due to poor maintenance can cause a driver to lose control of an 80,000-pound vehicle instantly.
Overloaded or improperly secured cargo can shift during transit, causing the truck to jackknife, tip, or spill its load onto other vehicles.
Rain, fog, and reduced visibility require truckers to adjust their driving accordingly. Failure to do so can be treated as negligence when an accident results.
When companies pressure drivers to skip rest periods, cut corners on maintenance, or ignore safety violations, the company itself can be held directly liable for resulting accidents.
The injuries sustained in truck accidents are often far more severe than those in typical car crashes, which means the financial impact on victims and their families can be enormous. Florida law allows injured victims to pursue both economic and non-economic damages when a truck driver, trucking company, or other party's negligence caused the accident.
Attorney McGuigan evaluates every truck accident case for its full value — not just the bills already received, but future medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, lost earning potential, and the broader impact the injuries have had on your quality of life. A free case evaluation is the first step toward understanding what your claim is worth.
When you contact Mill Stone Legal Group, you speak directly with Attorney Matthew R. McGuigan — not a receptionist, not a case manager, and not a paralegal. Matthew handles every truck accident case personally, from the initial free evaluation through final resolution, giving each client the focused attention their case demands.
Truck accident claims involve a level of complexity that goes far beyond a typical car accident. There may be multiple liable parties — the driver, the trucking company, the maintenance contractor, the cargo loader. Evidence such as electronic logging device data, black box records, and driver qualification files must be obtained quickly before it is altered or destroyed. Attorney McGuigan knows exactly what to look for and how to build a case that holds every responsible party accountable.
Clients pay nothing upfront. Mill Stone Legal Group works on a contingency fee basis, which means you owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. That commitment, combined with Matthew's hands-on approach, is why clients across Coral Springs and Broward County trust Mill Stone Legal Group with their most serious personal injury cases.
Get medical help immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Prompt documentation of your injuries is critical for both your health and your legal claim.
Photograph the vehicles, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Gather witness contact information and note the truck's company name and license plate.
Call Mill Stone Legal Group before speaking with any insurance company. Critical evidence in truck accident cases can disappear quickly — acting fast matters.
Your attorney handles all documentation, deadlines, and filings. Florida's statute of limitations requires action within four years — but sooner is always better.
The force generated in a collision with an 18-wheeler or other commercial truck is vastly greater than in a typical car accident. Injuries are often catastrophic, life-altering, and in the most tragic cases, fatal. Many injuries are not immediately apparent — internal bleeding, spinal damage, and traumatic brain injuries can take hours or days to fully manifest, making immediate medical evaluation essential.
Every one of these injuries carries serious long-term consequences for your health, your ability to work, and your quality of life. You deserve compensation that reflects the true scope of what you have been through — not a quick settlement designed to protect the trucking company's bottom line.
Filing a personal injury claim after a truck accident in Broward County involves navigating both Florida state law and federal trucking regulations. The process starts with gathering the right documentation — medical records, the police report, any photos or video from the scene, and records related to the truck driver and the company operating the vehicle. Your attorney will also work to obtain the truck's black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records before they are altered or destroyed.
Florida's statute of limitations generally gives victims four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim, but waiting is never advisable. Evidence degrades, witnesses become harder to locate, and trucking companies have legal teams working immediately after an accident. The sooner you engage an attorney, the stronger your case will be. Mill Stone Legal Group handles every step of the process so you can stay focused on your recovery.
