Cape Coral Lawyer for Sysco Large Truck Accident

Sysco and other distribution companies are critical in transporting food, supplies, and equipment throughout Florida. Their large trucks and tractor-trailers deliver these much-needed products to grocery stores, restaurants and bars, gas stations, and convenience stores.

Although Sysco and other trucking companies perform a necessary service, sharing the roads with their massive delivery vehicles can be unnerving and sometimes dangerous. Large trucks and tractor-trailers are heavy and boxy, making it harder for drivers to make evasive maneuvers or slow down quickly.

If you or someone in your family was severely hurt by a Sysco delivery truck, you should speak with the best Cape Coral accident attorney that you can call as soon as possible. You could be compensated for the damage you've suffered, depending on the nature and cause of the crash. You can explore possible legal options by calling Wolfson & Leon at 239-471-0714 today for your free, no-obligation review of your case.

Cape Coral is a popular community located on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The city is known for its affordable neighborhoods, schools, parks, and outdoor activities. Cape Coral has a population of 234,132. The median average of its residents is 48.2 years, and the average household income is $91,771. Locals call it “The Cape” and they understand just how crowded the roads become – especially in season (from Thanksgiving to Easter).

While Sysco and other food distribution companies provide valuable service to Cape Coral, their massive trucks can pose hazards to other passenger vehicles and pedestrians on the road. Some of the most general ways accidents involving large trucks can happen in Cape Coral include:

• Inability to slow or stop safely due to heavy weight
• Blind spot accidents
• Trucks that hit vehicles or pedestrians as they make wide turns over sidewalks or across other lanes
• Poor driving habits, such as speeding or traveling too closely behind other vehicles
• Blowouts, loss of hydraulic fluid, or other mechanical difficulties
• Trucks that tip or rollover because of weight imbalances or sudden changes in direction
• Jackknifing
• Severe weather
• Poor visibility due to heavy smoke or fog
• High winds
• Loose cargo
• Difficulty maneuvering around road obstacles, tight turns, or lane changes in construction zones

You or someone in your family could suffer catastrophic and life-altering injuries in a Sysco oversized truck crash, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Crushed or broken bones
• Internal organ damage or bleeding
• Severe road or chemical burns
• Loss of limbs or disfigurement
• Damaged nerves
• Soft tissue tears
• Spinal cord damage
• Puncture wounds
• Neck or shoulder injuries
• Deep cuts
• Pulled muscles
• Sprained ankles, knees, or wrists

A Sysco truck's excessive weight and substantial size might lead to significant injury in the event of a crash. If you were t-boned by a large truck as you traveled through an intersection or were rear-ended as you sat in traffic on a busy highway, you could suffer extreme injury.

When you can prove that negligence on behalf of the truck driver, trucking or distribution company, the manufacturer, or another responsible party, you might be compensated for your medical bills, like surgery, emergency room care, and hospitalization. You might be reimbursed for lost income if you missed work because of your injuries.

In some cases, you might compensated for your pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment, or emotional trauma caused by the accident.
