Tampa Tractor Trailer Accident Lawyer

Tractor trailer accidents are among the most dangerous and devastating crashes on Florida’s highways. These massive vehicles can cause catastrophic injuries when drivers or trucking companies act negligently. At Spencer Morgan Law, our experienced Tampa tractor trailer accident lawyer represents victims of serious truck crashes across the Tampa Bay area. We fight for full and fair compensation while holding trucking companies, drivers, and insurers accountable for their reckless actions.

Understanding Tractor Trailer Accidents

Tractor trailers can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, meaning even a minor collision can have life-changing consequences. These accidents often involve multiple vehicles, complex liability issues, and severe injuries.

Spencer Morgan Law has extensive experience handling commercial vehicle and tractor trailer accident claims. We know how to navigate federal trucking regulations and Florida’s personal injury laws to build strong cases that stand up to big trucking companies and their insurers.

Common Causes of Tractor Trailer Accidents

• Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
• Distracted or impaired driving
• Speeding or aggressive lane changes
• Improper cargo loading or weight distribution
• Poor truck maintenance or mechanical failure
• Inadequate driver training or supervision
• Hazardous road or weather conditions

Our firm investigates each crash in detail, reviewing black box data, driver logs, and inspection records to determine the cause and identify every liable party.

Common Injuries from Tractor Trailer Crashes

Because of the force involved, victims of tractor trailer accidents often suffer catastrophic or fatal injuries. Common injuries include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord damage and paralysis
• Internal organ injuries
• Broken bones and crush injuries
• Severe burns or lacerations
• Permanent disability or disfigurement

Spencer Morgan Law works closely with medical experts and financial specialists to calculate the full impact of your injuries and long-term care needs.
