Boca Raton Truck Accident Lawyers
When an 80,000-pound truck hits a car on I-95 through Boca, the injuries are catastrophic and the trucking company's defense team is working within hours. Shiner Law Group moves just as fast from our headquarters minutes away — including a $2.75 million truck recovery — with no fee unless we win.
Hit by a Commercial Truck in Boca Raton?
Truck cases are not car cases with bigger vehicles. Federal law governs the driver's hours, the truck's maintenance, and the company's hiring; commercial insurance runs into the hundreds of thousands or more; and the critical evidence — electronic logging device (ELD) data, dashcam footage, black box records — sits in the trucking company's hands and can lawfully be destroyed on retention schedules unless someone demands preservation immediately.
Boca sees it all: semis running I-95 and jackknifing at the interchanges, box trucks feeding Town Center and the Glades retail corridor, construction vehicles serving the city's constant building, and delivery vans on every residential street. Each crash type has its own web of liable parties — driver, carrier, broker, cargo loader, maintenance contractor — and each may carry separate insurance that catastrophic injuries need.
Our results include a $2.75 million recovery for a client left with severe spinal injuries after a semi failed to yield. Same-day spoliation letters, federal regulatory analysis, every defendant pursued. You pay nothing unless we win.
No upfront cost, ever. Every case is handled on a strict contingency fee. Call (561) 777-7700 for a free, confidential consultation, available 24/7 from offices across Florida.

What to Do After a Truck Crash — Step by Step
The steps you take in the first hours and days can make or break your claim.
Get to Safety and Call 911
Truck crashes involve fuel spills and blocked lanes. Report injuries and get police on scene - the report and citations matter.

The truck, its placards and USDOT numbers, all vehicles, skid marks, and the debris field.
Get Truck and Carrier Details
Driver's name and CDL, carrier name, trailer info, and insurance - plus every witness.
Seek Medical Care Immediately
Truck-crash forces cause internal injuries that aren't obvious. Prompt care protects your health and proves causation.
Say Nothing to the Trucking Company
Their rapid-response investigators may contact you within days. Sign nothing before speaking with an attorney.
Call Shiner Law Group Immediately
(561) 777-7700. Preservation demands go out same-day for ELD, dashcam, and black box data. Free consultation, 24/7.
Federal Rules Make Truck Cases Different
Trucking is federally regulated — and those regulations are where liability is proven.
FMCSA Regulations
Federal rules govern hours of service, drug and alcohol testing, vehicle maintenance, and driver qualification. Violations are powerful evidence of negligence.
Evidence on a Timer
ELD logs, dashcam footage, and black box data can be lawfully destroyed under routine retention schedules. An immediate spoliation letter forces preservation — which is why calling fast matters more in truck cases than any other.
Bigger Policies, More Defendants
Liability often extends beyond the driver to the carrier, broker, shipper, cargo loader, and maintenance contractors — and in delivery-fleet cases, the network behind the contractor. Finding every policy is how catastrophic losses get covered.

How Dangerous Are Truck Crashes in Boca Raton?
More than 5,000 people a year have died in large-truck crashes nationally in recent years, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data — and they share the same Palm Beach County roads that saw 25,349 crashes in 2025.

Insurance Companies You May Deal With — and What They Don't Want You to Know
Every major insurer operating in Florida uses the same playbook: delay, deny, and minimize. Understanding it is the first step to defeating it.
State Farm
Florida's largest auto insurer, known for aggressive comparative fault assignments and slow payment approvals
GEICO
High claim volume across Florida, with quick lowball offers designed to close claims early
Progressive
Sophisticated systems that use recorded statements to build comparative fault cases against claimants
Allstate
Known for claims software that systematically undervalues soft tissue and pain and suffering damages
USAA
Serves military families with a fair-dealing reputation but standard delay tactics on larger claims
Travelers
Common commercial-vehicle insurer with aggressive defense of truck and delivery claims
Liberty Mutual
Frequently disputes causation in soft-tissue claims, requiring thorough medical documentation
Nationwide
Uses early recorded-statement requests to lock in accounts before injuries are fully known
The most important thing to know: the defense starts building its case before you have spoken to an attorney. Shiner Law Group levels this from day one. Call (561) 777-7700 before giving anyone a statement.
