The area known today as West Palm Beach was settled in the 1870s and 1880s. The early settlers came from different parts of the country and included founding families like the Lainharts and Potters. West Palm Beach became South Florida's first municipality when it was incorporated as a town in 1894 and then again as a city in 1903. West Palm Beach is a lively community with many neighborhoods, schools, parks, and shopping centers. The population of West Palm Beach is 126,337, and the median age of its residents is 40.2 years.

Commercial and construction vehicles are designed to transport and haul heavy cargo, like supplies and equipment, over long distances. Large trucks, like tractor-trailers, garbage trucks, delivery vehicles, or dump trucks, are significantly taller and heavier than passenger cars and trucks on the road. While these trucks transport necessary goods, such as food, equipment, and supplies, throughout West Palm Beach, they can pose dangers to others on the road. Some of the most common ways a Sysco heavy truck accident could happen in West Palm Beach include:

• Poor driving habits, such as speeding, following too closely behind other vehicles on the road, or running through red lights or stop signs.
• Loose cargo that flies off the truck
• Shifting lanes without checking blind spots
• Rollovers caused by shifts in the truck’s weight
• Harsh weather
• Jackknifing
• Poor judgement
• Lack of truck maintenance, which can lead to loss of brake hydraulics, blowouts, or other equipment failures
• Distractions
• Wide turns that span multiple lanes or sidewalks
• Failure to modify driving habits during harsh weather
• Lack of driver training
• Operating a large vehicle when fatigued, tired, or impaired
• Inability to slow down or stop safely
• Difficulty maneuvering oversized trucks through road obstacles, like tight turns, narrow lanes, or changes in traffic patterns.

Sysco and other food distribution companies transport thousands of pounds of food, supplies, and equipment to grocery stores, restaurants and bars, colleges and universities, and hospitals throughout West Palm Beach. Even without cargo, these oversized trucks weigh considerably more than passenger vehicles. An oversized truck traveling at a fast pace could cause considerable damage if it can’t stop or maneuver safely to avoid a crash.

If you or your family were involved in a Sysco oversized truck crash, you could suffer from such extreme injuries as:

• Head trauma
• Internal bleeding
• Crushed organs or bones
• Spinal cord injuries
• Severe burns or scarring
• Disfigurement
• Severed or pinched nerves
• Deep cuts or puncture wounds
• Whiplash
• Broken bones
• Sprained ankles, knees, or wrists
• Torn or stretched tendons or muscles
• Impalement
• Herniated discs

You need immediate medical attention when you are severely injured in a large truck crash. You may sometimes endure minor injuries or no visible damage in a Sysco oversized truck crash. Even so, you should still get checked out by a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. Sometimes, injuries aren't obvious when the accident happens. You may not realize you hit your head, damaged a nerve in your back, or sprained your knee until hours or days later. You could make the damage worse if you wait to seek help.

Should you find that your injuries were far more serious than you thought, seeking compensation could be more of a challenge if you delay getting medical attention.
