Jacksonville 18-Wheeler & Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer
We prioritize our clients, ensuring their needs are met every step of the way. Our dedication guarantees your satisfaction; we persist until we achieve it. Plus, we handle claims on contingency, so there’s no upfront cost to you.
When an 18-wheeler collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are catastrophic. The size and weight of a commercial truck—often up to 80,000 pounds—means even a single moment of negligence can cause lifelong consequences.
At Campione Law, we represent victims of semi-truck and tractor-trailer crashes across Jacksonville and Florida. Our attorneys understand federal trucking laws, local highways, and the tactics big carriers use to avoid paying what victims deserve.

Common Causes of 18-Wheeler & Semi-Truck Accidents
Jacksonville’s heavy freight corridors—I-95, I-10, SR-9B, and U.S. 1—are frequent sites for commercial truck crashes. Common causes include:
- Driver fatigue (violating FMCSA hours-of-service rules)
- Distracted driving (texting or GPS use)
- Speeding or tailgating
- Improper lane changes or blind spot errors
- Overloaded or unbalanced cargo
- Defective brakes, tires, or coupling devices
Our legal team uses black-box (EDR) data, inspection reports, and expert analysis to prove negligence and liability.

Parties That May Be Liable in a Truck Crash
Unlike typical car accidents, semi-truck collisions often involve multiple responsible parties:
- Truck driver – for negligent or reckless driving
- Trucking company – for poor supervision or maintenance
- Cargo shipper or loader – for unsafe or overweight loads
- Maintenance contractors – for negligent repairs
- Vehicle or parts manufacturers – for mechanical defects
