Winter Park Delivery Truck Accident Lawyer
People in the city of Winter Park and throughout Central Florida are doing more shopping online than ever before. Because of this, an increasing number of delivery trucks are needed to bring items to the purchasers who ordered them on the internet. In fact, nationwide, more than 1,705,000 people are driving delivery trucks, and the need for new drivers keeps growing.
Unfortunately, all these delivery trucks on the streets of Winter Park and the surrounding areas are causing more traffic accidents. Delivery truck drivers are often under intense pressure from their employers to deliver large numbers of packages in a short time. The result is that drivers often sacrifice safety for speed. To add to the seriousness of the problem, when a heavy delivery van or truck hits a lighter and smaller car or other passenger vehicle, the people in the smaller vehicle are often severely injured.
Were you recently seriously injured in an accident with a delivery truck in Winter Park or elsewhere in Florida? If the truck driver, truck owner, or another party’s negligence was at least a partial cause of the accident, you may be entitled to substantial compensation for the pain, suffering and losses you have experienced because of the accident.
The Dennis Hernandez Winter Park delivery truck accident lawyers understand how devastating truck accident injuries can be and want to help. We’ve been successfully fighting for the rights of Florida accident victims for more than a quarter of a century and will put experience and expertise to work for you.

Why Do Winter Park Delivery Truck Accidents Cause Such Severe Injuries?
Delivery vans and trucks weigh a lot more than cars. A typical delivery van that makes local deliveries weighs around 14,000 to 16,000 pounds, and a long-distance delivery semi-truck can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds when fully loaded. Compare that to a car, which only weighs an average of 4,100 pounds. The force of the heavier vehicle smashing into the lighter vehicle will often cause severe injuries to the car’s driver and passengers.
These injuries often require extensive medical treatment. They may cause permanent disfigurement or disabilities. A few examples of serious injuries that people have sustained in delivery truck accidents are fractures, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord injuries, injuries to organs in the abdominal cavity, cuts and lacerations, burns, and injuries to the limbs, extremities, back, neck, and face.
