We are here to seek to it that justice is served, and we have a proven track record of success in handling personal injury cases. Today, we'll answer a vital issue for many victims: "Can I sue a truck driver's company for my accident injuries in Florida?" The simple response is, "Yes, you can." According to Florida law, it is perfectly legal to sue a trucking firm for damages if one of their employees (the truck driver) caused an accident while conducting their job obligations. This is referred to as 'vicarious responsibility.' It's as if the firm is sitting in the driver's seat and hence shares responsibility for any accidents that occur. The logic behind this principle is straightforward. Trucking businesses, as profit-seeking entities, should be held liable for the acts of their personnel while on the job. They are, after all, the ones who establish operational standards, recruit drivers, and maintain the fleet of cars. Pursuing a case against a trucking firm, on the other hand, is no easy task. The legal maze is complicated, and it is generally fortified by the trucking company's staff of powerful attorneys. They are skilled at minimizing liability and frequently employ a variety of legal strategies to reduce the settlement amount. This is where Tucker Law comes in, with our dedication to your cause. We are the ally you need to receive the recompense you deserve, with a strong [...]

Brake checking, also known as hard braking or tailgating, is a dangerous and reckless driving behavior.  This type of behavior can lead to serious auto accidents and major injuries.  It occurs when a driver intentionally brakes suddenly and without warning to cause the driver behind them to also brake.  This can lead to a chain reaction of braking, causing a rear-end collision and potentially causing severe injuries and fatalities. One of the main reasons that brake checking is so dangerous is that it can lead to losing control for both the brake checker and the victim.  When a driver brakes suddenly and without warning, it can cause the driver behind them to panic, often resulting in a loss of control of their vehicle.  This can result in the driver swerving, braking too hard, or even veering off the road.  That is why brake checking is so danerous. Brake checking can also cause severe damage to both vehicles involved in the collision.  When a driver brakes suddenly and without warning, it can cause the driver behind them to collide with their car at a high rate of speed.  This can result in significant damage to both vehicles and injuries to the drivers and passengers involved. In addition to the physical risks associated with brake checking, it is also a dangerous behavior because it can lead to aggressive driving and road rage.  When a driver is brake checked, they may become angry or frustrated and try retaliating against the brake checker.  This can escalate into a dangerous situation that puts all drivers at risk. To prevent auto accidents caused by brake checking, it is important for drivers to be aware of this dangerous behavior and to avoid [...]
