Hillsborough County, Florida Semi-Truck Accident Results in Injuries

Hillsborough County, FL – A woman suffered serious injuries. She was hospitalized following a crash involving a semi-truck that overturned and dropped its trailer onto her vehicle, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The incident occurred shortly after noon on Monday on the northbound ramp from Interstate 75 to Interstate 4. The semi-truck collided with a concrete barrier after failing to navigate a curve safely. The impact caused the trailer to overturn and fall onto Hillsborough Avenue, where it struck a Jeep.

Emergency crews transported the injured woman to a local hospital for treatment. The semi-truck driver was cited for failure to maintain lane.

People injured in truck crashes deserve full compensation for their injuries and suffering

A single moment of careless driving can lead to a devastating collision. When another driver makes a mistake, it can leave victims with serious, life-changing injuries, emotional trauma, and overwhelming financial burdens, such as lost wages and mounting medical bills.

Unfortunately, in many cases where a truck driver is at fault, they or their company may try to shift the blame or push for a quick settlement that doesn’t fully cover the victim’s losses.

Help is available, but finding the right team is important. Trucking accident cases are complex and require an attorney with specialized experience who won’t accept quick settlements or allow blame-shifting tactics. Victims and their families deserve an advocate who will stand with them every step of the way, fighting for the full compensation and justice they need to rebuild their lives.

In this case, we hope the injured find the support and resources they need to recover.
