When you’re hit by a commercial truck, life changes fast. Medical bills start piling up. Insurance adjusters call before you’ve even had a chance to process what happened. And while you’re trying to figure out your next steps, the trucking company and its lawyers are already working to protect themselves.
Echevarria Legal evens the playing field for people injured in truck accidents in Miami and across Florida. We focus on serious injuries, complex commercial claims, and cases involving federal trucking regulations. Our job is simple: protect your rights, protect the evidence, and pursue the full compensation the law allows.
From securing black box data to stopping aggressive insurance tactics, we take over the legal burden so you can focus on recovering. If you’re unsure what to do next—or you just want clarity before signing anything—we offer free consultations with no upfront costs.
Your job is to get better.
Ours is to fight for you.
A crash involving an 80,000-lb commercial motor vehicle (CMV) is nothing like a typical car accident. The forces involved are far greater, the injuries are more severe, and the legal framework is entirely different.
Commercial trucks are governed by federal safety rules (FMCSA and 49 CFR regulations), and trucking companies act quickly to protect themselves after a crash. Their insurers often deploy rapid-response teams within hours.
Winning a truck accident case means understanding:
This isn’t general personal injury work. It’s a specialized area of law.
Most truck crashes involve more than one failure. The most common causes we uncover include:
Identifying the root cause isn’t optional—it’s how you prove negligence.
In Miami and South Florida, trucking involves subcontractors, brokers, cargo companies, and owner-operators. That means liability usually doesn’t fall on just one party.
Potentially responsible parties include:
For speeding, fatigue, distracted driving, or violating federal safety rules.
For negligent hiring, unsafe scheduling, lack of supervision, or pushing drivers beyond legal limits.
For hiring unsafe carriers or improperly loading cargo.
For mechanical failures and ignored repairs.
If a defective brake, tire, or steering component contributed to the crash.
The more parties involved, the more insurance policies are at play—and the more important your attorney becomes.
Because of the size and weight of commercial trucks, injuries are often life-changing. We regularly represent clients suffering from:
Your injuries—and their long-term impact on your life—directly affect the value of your case.
Truck accident settlements vary widely because no two cases are the same. The value of your case depends on:
Medical bills, future medical care, lost income, reduced earning ability, and out-of-pocket costs.
Pain, suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Ongoing care, rehabilitation, surgeries, modifications to your home or vehicle, and long-term disability.
Available in cases involving extreme negligence, such as ignored federal safety violations or reckless corporate policies.
Factors that increase case value include catastrophic injuries, evidence of FMCSA violations, and high commercial insurance limits.

Black box data, ELD logs, driver logs, maintenance records, cargo documentation, GPS/dashcam footage, and witness statements.
It depends on your injuries, medical needs, lost income, long-term recovery, and whether the trucking company violated safety rules.
The driver, trucking company, broker, shipper, truck owner, maintenance provider, or manufacturer—sometimes multiple at once.
Nothing upfront. You only pay if we win.
