If you’ve been injured in a Gainesville truck accident, you’re facing more than just an ordinary collision. Whether the crash happened on the I-75 truck corridor through Alachua County, on Archer Road or NW 13th Street (US-441), or anywhere on the highways and surface streets surrounding Gainesville, the aftermath of a commercial vehicle wreck is uniquely complex — multiple insurance carriers, federal trucking regulations, fleet defense lawyers, and serious injuries that often require treatment at UF Health Shands or HCA Florida North Florida Hospital. West Law Firm is here to help.
As a Gainesville-area truck accident attorney serving Alachua County, Zach West knows how to investigate driver logs, electronic control modules, and FMCSA compliance records — and how to push back when trucking companies try to minimize what your case is really worth. Every truck accident case is unique, and Zach personally takes the time to understand how the crash has affected you and pursue every dollar of compensation you’re owed under Florida law.
I can help victims of any type of accident.
Were you injured in a Gainesville truck accident?
An accident with a semi-truck can devastate you and your family.
A Harvard study found that about a quarter of drivers have fallen asleep at the wheel, 50% of professional truck drivers have reported the same issue. Trucks weigh so much more than cars that an accident will often result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.
It’s important to hire a lawyer who has experience working with semi-truck accidents because defining responsibility for the crash is also important.

Local knowledge that matters when your case is filed in Alachua County.

Truck traffic is heaviest during freight shifts, holiday peaks, and the seasonal pulse of UF home games, class shift changes, and seasonal tourist traffic to Florida’s natural springs.
