If you have been injured in a collision with a commercial truck, you are facing a legal opponent that is significantly more powerful than the average driver. At Bogin Munns & Munns, we provide the specialized legal strategy required to hold commercial carriers accountable and secure the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, lost wages, and recovery.

We understand the unique challenges of the I-95 corridor—one of the highest-volume freight routes on the East Coast—and the specific risks it poses to local and seasonal drivers in Volusia County. When a commercial carrier’s negligence causes a life-altering accident, they begin building their defense the moment the crash is reported. You need a legal team that acts with equal speed to protect your evidence and your rights.

From I-95 and US-1 to the high-traffic zones around International Speedway Boulevard, our attorneys represent truck accident victims throughout Daytona Beach and the surrounding region. We manage the complex federal regulations and insurance hurdles inherent in commercial trucking cases, navigating your claim from the initial investigation through settlement or trial in the 7th Judicial Circuit.

Call our Daytona Beach office at (386) 763-2092 for a free case review. We handle all truck accident cases on a contingency basis—you pay no fees unless we recover compensation for you.

What Makes Commercial Truck Cases Different From Other Crashes?

Truck accident cases involve layers that a standard car accident does not: federal regulations, multiple parties with separate insurance coverage, and time-sensitive evidence stored on the truck itself. Getting those details wrong in the first days after a crash can limit what your case is worth.

Commercial truck overturned on its side after a rollover crash beside the roadway.Commercial trucks are governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which sets national standards for driver hours, vehicle inspections, cargo loading, and carrier insurance minimums. When a carrier violates those standards, those violations become direct evidence of negligence in a civil claim. Carrier safety data, crash history, and compliance records are publicly searchable at fmcsa.dot.gov.

The truck’s electronic logging device, onboard cameras, and data recorder capture speed, braking patterns, and GPS location at the moment of impact. Carriers are not required to preserve that data indefinitely. We send legal preservation letters immediately after being retained.

Who Is Responsible When a Truck Hits You in Daytona Beach?

In most vehicle accidents, liability falls on one driver. In a commercial truck crash, it often extends across multiple parties, each with their own insurer and legal representation.

Potentially responsible parties include:

  • The truck driver, for negligent or fatigued operation
  • The trucking company, for negligent hiring, supervision, or training
  • The cargo loading company, if improper loading caused the vehicle to behave unsafely
  • The maintenance provider, if a mechanical failure contributed to the crash
  • The truck or parts manufacturer, if a defect played a role

Missing a responsible party means leaving insurance coverage on the table. We investigate the full chain of liability before recommending a settlement strategy.

Does Florida’s No-Fault System Apply to Truck Accident Injuries?

Yes, initially. Florida requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection coverage, and PIP applies first after any vehicle crash regardless of who caused it. PIP covers up to $10,000 in medical expenses and lost wages.

For most truck accident victims in Daytona Beach, $10,000 covers only a fraction of the actual injury costs. When injuries meet Florida’s serious injury threshold (permanent injury, significant scarring, or significant loss of a bodily function), you can step outside the no-fault system and pursue the full value of your damages directly from the at-fault carrier and driver.

Truck accidents routinely produce injuries serious enough to meet that threshold. We assess eligibility at the start of every case.

Delivery Trucks, the New Fulfillment Center, and Local Route Traffic

In 2025, Amazon completed construction of a 2.8 million-square-foot fulfillment center near the Daytona Beach International Airport. That facility dramatically increased commercial delivery vehicle traffic on the routes connecting the airport corridor to residential neighborhoods, commercial strips, and the I-95 interchange points throughout Volusia County.

Amazon delivery van used for commercial package deliveries parked in a residential neighborhood.Delivery drivers for Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and other carriers operate under significant scheduling pressure. Hours-of-service violations, distracted driving while scanning addresses, and unsafe stops in traffic lanes are recurring factors in delivery truck crashes. These cases differ from over-the-road freight collisions because the employer’s control over driver behavior and routing is often more direct and more documentable.

We handle delivery truck accident cases in Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Ormond Beach, and throughout Volusia County.

How Long Do You Have to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit in Florida?

Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident under Florida Statutes Section 95.11. For wrongful death claims arising from a truck accident, the same two-year deadline applies from the date of death.

Two years feels like a long time until you account for medical treatment, recovery, and the investigation required to build a complete liability case. Trucking companies begin their own investigation within hours of a crash. Waiting significantly reduces your ability to gather evidence before it is lost or overwritten.

Truck accident lawsuits in Volusia County are filed with the 7th Judicial Circuit Court. Florida Courts maintains procedural information for Volusia County at flcourts.gov.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Truck Accident in Daytona Beach?

Truck accidents in Volusia County frequently result in severe injuries requiring treatment at Halifax Medical Center, the only Level II Trauma Center serving the area. The cost of that care, combined with long recovery periods, often far exceeds what standard auto insurance covers.

A successful truck accident claim in Florida can include compensation for:

  • All medical expenses, past and future, including rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and permanent impairment
  • Property damage to your vehicle
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, the strength of the liability evidence, and the insurance coverage available from all responsible parties. Commercial carriers in Florida are required to carry substantially higher liability coverage than private passenger vehicles.

Call 386-763-2092 or contact us online to discuss what your case may be worth.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. When a truck driver causes an accident while working, their employer is typically liable under vicarious liability. You can bring a claim directly against the carrier, not just the individual driver. 

  • Call 911 and get medical attention first. If you are able, photograph the truck’s USDOT number on its door, license plate, and any visible cargo markings. Get the name and contact for any witnesses. Do not give a recorded statement to the trucking company’s insurance adjuster before speaking with an attorney. Evidence on the truck begins overwriting quickly, so contact our office as soon as possible after the accident.

  • Most truck accident cases in Volusia County settle before trial, but the timeline varies. Cases with clear liability and fully documented injuries can resolve in several months. Cases involving catastrophic injuries, multiple defendants, or a carrier that refuses to negotiate in good faith can take a year or longer. 

  • Passengers injured in a truck accident are typically in a stronger legal position than drivers because fault is not attributed to you. You can bring claims against the truck driver, the carrier, and potentially the driver of the vehicle you were in if they also contributed to the crash. We assess all available insurance coverage across every responsible party before advising on how to proceed.

  • Truck accident claims involve federal regulations, multiple potentially liable parties, and evidence held by the carrier that does not exist in a standard car crash: electronic logs, inspection records, driver qualification files, and black box data. They also typically involve commercial insurance policies with higher limits and carriers with experienced claims teams whose job is to minimize payouts.

  • Out-of-state carriers are subject to Florida law when their drivers cause accidents on Florida roads. We handle out-of-state defendant cases and manage the process locally so you do not have to coordinate across jurisdictions from Daytona Beach. Many Daytona Beach truck accident cases involve carriers operating on I-95 routes that originate outside Florida. 

  • Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault. A victim found 20 percent responsible in a case worth $300,000 would recover $240,000. The carrier’s legal team will attempt to assign as much fault as possible to you. 

  • Driver fatigue is a documented contributing factor in a significant percentage of commercial truck crashes. Federal hours-of-service rules limit how long a driver can operate without rest. When a driver’s logbook, electronic logging device, or dispatch records show violations of those limits, that evidence directly supports a negligence finding.

  • Under Florida Statutes Section 768.20, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate brings a wrongful death action on behalf of surviving family members. Recoverable damages can include medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and burial costs, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship. The same two-year filing deadline applies from the date of death.
