At Bogin, Munns & Munns, we take on the hard legal work so you can focus on healing. Here’s what our attorneys do on your behalf:
Protecting You From Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters often try to settle quickly or pressure victims into accepting less than they deserve. We step in immediately to handle all communication, protecting you from tactics designed to minimize your claim.
Our team negotiates directly with insurers to pursue the maximum compensation available.
Gathering and Preserving Critical Evidence
Truck accident cases often hinge on evidence that can disappear quickly—such as driver logbooks, black box (event data recorder) information, and maintenance records. We know how to secure and analyze this evidence before it’s lost, giving your case a stronger foundation.
Building a Strong Case
Our attorneys thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your accident, consult with medical and accident reconstruction experts, and collect witness testimony. We use this information to clearly show liability and prove the extent of your damages.
Calculating the Full Value of Your Claim
Beyond medical bills, you may be entitled to compensation for future medical care, lost earning potential, and non-economic damages such as pain, suffering, and emotional trauma. We carefully calculate the true value of your claim so you are not left covering costs later.
Representing You in Court if Needed
While many cases settle, some require a trial to achieve justice. If the insurance company refuses to negotiate in good faith, our trial-tested attorneys are ready to present your case in front of a judge or jury.
Supporting You Throughout the Process
We know a truck accident disrupts your life in many ways. Our team is here to answer your questions, provide updates, and guide you step by step, so you never feel alone or uncertain about your case.

Your Recoverable Damages in a Daytona Beach Trucking Accident
After a crash between a car and a truck, it is very probable that you and your passengers may suffer significant injuries. These injuries could lead to a long hospitalization and recovery.

Some of the types of damages you may be eligible to receive after a crash with a truck include:
- Medical expenses, which may include doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy appointments, and other medical care. You may also be able to recover the estimated future costs of all medical care.
- Lost wages, where you may be unable to work for a long time after the crash while you heal from your injuries. Additionally, you could seek compensation if you are unable to return to your old career or if you cannot work at all.
- Emotional trauma, which may include anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This damage could also include the therapy and counseling to treat you.
- Pain and suffering, which can include things like physical pain that lingers after the crash, as well as a reduction in your quality of life, leaving you unable to enjoy the things you did before the accident.

Common Forms of Truck Driver Negligence Our Daytona Beach Truck Accident Lawyers See
Because of the large size of the truck, there is a higher degree of responsibility placed on its operator. Any driver operating this type of vehicle must be trained and behave in a professional manner.
A driver who does not have the proper training or who is not paying close attention to potential hazards has a far greater chance of causing a serious crash and harming someone.
If a truck driver causes your accident while engaging in any of the following negligent actions, they may be liable for your injuries:
Drunk Driving
Should a truck driver drink alcohol before starting a route, he or she could be guilty of causing the accident through drunk driving.
In the state of Florida, a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or greater is required to be charged with drunk driving. However, drivers operating a vehicle with a commercial driver’s license are held to a BAC limit of just 0.04%.
Fatigued Driving
Because truck drivers must drive such a large number of hours, they could become fatigued while behind the wheel. Drowsy driving is a significant problem, as it can lead to a host of mistakes for the driver, including:
- Slowing of reaction time
- Reduction in processing information
- Reduction in the sharpness of the driver’s vision
- Loss of concentration
Truck drivers are required by industry regulations from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to a limited hours of service. Exceeding those hours is grounds for negligence.
Violating Traffic Laws
A truck driver who is violating traffic laws could be liable for the accident they cause. Such a violation could include:
- Speeding
- Failure to yield
- Illegal lane change
- Not stopping at a red light or stop sign
- Not using their lights at night
- Driving while using a cell phone
If you are suffering injuries due to the negligence of a truck driver, our personal injury law firm can help you build a claim for compensation. We can manage your case, allowing you to recover in peace.

Proving Negligence and Establishing Liability in a Truck Accident Case
Recovering compensation after a truck accident requires proving that someone else’s negligence caused your injuries. While this might sound straightforward, trucking cases are often more complex than a standard car accident claim because multiple parties — and multiple layers of insurance coverage — may be involved.
When you hire a Daytona Beach truck accident lawyer from Bogin, Munns & Munns, we conduct a detailed investigation to uncover every factor that led to your crash. Our team gathers and analyzes evidence such as:
- Eyewitness statements to corroborate how the accident happened
- Police and crash reports for initial findings and violations noted on scene
- Photographs, videos, and surveillance footage to document conditions and impact
- Dashcam or black box (event data recorder) data from the truck, which may show speed, braking, or hours-of-service violations
- Maintenance logs and driver logbooks that can reveal rule violations or equipment failures
- Expert testimony from accident reconstruction specialists and medical professionals
- Your medical records linking the crash directly to your injuries
Using this evidence, we work to show how negligence occurred. In truck accident cases, this means proving that the driver or another party owed you a duty of care, that they breached this duty through reckless or careless actions, that their behavior directly caused the crash, and that you suffered measurable damages as a result.
Liability Can Extend Beyond the Truck Driver
Unlike a typical car accident case, truck accident liability often extends beyond the driver. Depending on the circumstances, other responsible parties may include:
- The trucking company that failed to properly vet, train, or supervise the driver. These companies may have even pressured drivers to break federal hours-of-service rules.
- Cargo loaders whose negligence led to unbalanced or unsecured cargo that contributed to a rollover or jackknife.
- Maintenance providers who overlooked or failed to correct dangerous mechanical issues.
- Truck or parts manufacturers if a defective component, such as faulty brakes or tires, played a role in the crash.
Trucking companies and their insurers have significant resources and a vested interest in limiting payouts. They may dispute fault, hide or delay releasing records, or attempt to shift blame onto you.
Our attorneys know how to counter these tactics, preserve crucial evidence before it disappears, and pursue compensation from every liable party and every available insurance policy.

Legal Challenges After a Truck Accident in Florida
Truck accident cases in Florida are rarely simple. State laws, insurance rules, and liability standards can create roadblocks for victims who are just trying to recover.
At Bogin, Munns & Munns, we guide our clients through these challenges and make sure their rights are fully protected.
Florida’s Statute of Limitations
One of the first hurdles is the deadline to file a claim. According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years to bring a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
Missing this deadline could mean losing your chance to recover compensation. Our team tracks these timelines closely, so you don’t have to worry about the clock running out.
Comparative Negligence Rules
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system, which means your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partly at fault for the crash.
Insurance companies often use this rule to try to shift blame onto victims, reducing or denying victim claims altogether. We push back by investigating the accident fully and presenting evidence that shows the true cause of the crash.
Insurance Complexities in Trucking Cases
Unlike standard car accidents, truck accident cases often involve multiple insurance policies — the driver’s, the trucking company’s, the cargo owner’s, or even the manufacturer’s.
These insurers frequently argue over who is responsible, which can delay or limit your recovery. Our attorneys cut through this complexity by identifying every available policy and holding all responsible parties accountable.
Federal and State Trucking Regulations
Truck drivers and trucking companies must follow strict federal and state safety rules, such as limits on driving hours, maintenance requirements, and cargo-loading standards.
When these rules are broken, it can be powerful evidence of negligence. We know how to obtain logbooks, black box data, and inspection records to uncover violations that may have contributed to your accident.
