Tampa Semi Accident Attorneys
The trucking industry is heavily regulated by state and federal trucking regulations. When a truck accident occurs, it is often found that a trucker or trucking company did not comply with these regulations. This negligence can result in serious injury and wrongful death. At Hale & Paulsen, P.A., we are experienced in identifying the causes of tractor-trailer accidents. We stand up for the rights of our injured clients and seek fair compensation on their behalf.

Why Is it Important to Contact an Attorney Soon After the Accident?
Our firm stresses the urgency of seeking legal help as soon as possible after the accident. Evidence needs to be preserved and investigated. This evidence may often be lost or destroyed over time. If possible, use your cell phone or digital camera to take pictures at the scene of the truck accident, before the truck company investigators arrive at the scene. Our firm works with accident reconstruction experts to determine the cause of the accident and the negligent action. Often, truck accidents are the result of noncompliance with federal regulations related to issues such as the following.
- Driver fatigue/driving over hours
- Fraudulent logbooks
- Speeding
- Oversized loads, overloaded trailer, unbalanced loads
- Improper maintenance
