If you were injured in a South Miami Heights truck accident, the damage you can see is rarely the whole story. South Miami Heights sits in Miami-Dade County, part of Florida's South Florida. A loaded semi can weigh 20 to 30 times more than your car, so truck crashes tend to cause more serious injuries — and they can involve more insurance layers, from the driver to the trucking company to the cargo loader.
