Jax 3PL & Logistics Liability

Jacksonville isn't just a city; it’s a global freight hub. With JAXPORT processing over 1.3 million containers annually and the I-95/I-10 interchange serving as the primary gateway to the Eastern Seaboard, our roads carry a disproportionate amount of heavy commercial traffic.


When an 80,000-pound rig collides with a passenger vehicle in Duval County, it isn't a standard car accident—it is a failure of the complex logistics chain.


At the Law Office of Irvin Daphnis, we hold every link in that chain accountable.

The "Logistics Hub" Danger Zones

Local knowledge is critical. We focus on the specific Jacksonville corridors where heavy freight creates the highest risk:


  • The Blount Island & Dames Point Corridors: High-volume "drayage" trucks rushing to meet vessel deadlines often lead to aggressive driving and unsecured load accidents.



  • Westside Industrial Parks: Area roads like Pritchard Road and Beaver Street see constant semi-truck traffic, leading to devastating "underride" accidents at intersection.

2026 FMCSA Regulatory Enforcement: New Standards of Negligence

By 2026, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has evolved beyond simple roadside checks. In our current litigation, we leverage these enhanced 2026 standards to prove carrier negligence:


  • AEB Calibration & Maintenance: Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) is no longer just "new technology"—it is a critical safety standard. If a commercial vehicle fails to stop on a Jacksonville corridor like I-10 or I-95, we don't just ask if AEB was installed; we subpoena maintenance logs to see if sensors were miscalibrated or if the driver intentionally disabled the system to avoid "false triggers."


  • Stricter English Proficiency Enforcement: Under the 2025/2026 enforcement push of 49 CFR 391.11(b)(2), English proficiency has become a mandatory "Out-of-Service" condition. If a driver involved in your crash could not comprehend JSO traffic instructions or Florida highway signage, we argue "Negligent Entrustment" against the carrier for placing an unqualified driver on Duval County roads.


  • Next-Gen ELD Auditing: 2026 marks the era of Digital Audits. The FMCSA’s recent overhaul of the ELD Registry means that "self-certified" excuses are gone. We use digital forensics to cross-reference ELD data with JAXPORT gate logs and GPS pings to expose "ghost logs" and prove exactly when a fatigued driver exceeded their 11-hour limit.


  • Broker Accountability & Transparency: New 2026 rules regarding Broker Financial Responsibility (BMC-85) and transparency mean we can now track the "paper trail" of a shipment more clearly than ever. If a broker hired a "marginal" or "unsafe" carrier to save on freight costs, we hold them accountable for their role in the accident.

The "Hidden" Defendants in Jacksonville Truck Accidents

In the logistics world, the driver is rarely the only one at fault. To maximize your recovery, we look behind the wheel at:



  1. Freight Brokers: Did the broker hire a "marginal" carrier with a history of safety violations just to save on shipping costs?
  2. Shippers & Loaders: At JAXPORT, improperly balanced containers cause "rollover" accidents. We hold the loading facility responsible for these shifting-weight disasters.
  3. Third-Party Maintenance Providers: Many fleets in Jacksonville outsource their brake and tire service. If a blowout on the Buckman Bridge caused your crash, we track down the maintenance logs to find the negligence.

Why Multilingual Advocacy Matters in Trucking

Jacksonville’s logistics workforce is as diverse as the city itself. Attorney Irvin Daphnis provides counsel in English, French, and Haitian Creole.
