Fuel truck accidents can be incredibly dangerous. Oftentimes, these vehicles carry loads that are corrosive or flammable. In the case of an accident, you may be exposed to dangerous chemicals. These chemicals can cause burns or death in more serious cases.
If you or a loved one suffered a fuel truck accident in Brandon, FL, we can help. Our team will navigate the complex code of laws associated with these accidents, and act as your legal guide.
How Much Will I Receive in Damages?
Fuel truck accidents are complicated. Florida state roadway laws will be involved, as will insurers. Because of this, there is no accurate way to predict the precise amount of damages you’ll receive. That said, fuel truck accidents often lead to more serious injuries than typical car crashes.
These are some common damages you could receive compensation for in a fuel truck accident:
- Lost wages because of your injuries.
- Damage to your personal belongings, like the vehicle you were driving at the time of the accident.
- Pain and suffering, and other associated mental trauma.
- Upfront medical expenses, like surgery or a prolonged hospital stay.
- Necessary disability accommodations, like a wheelchair.
- Ongoing care costs, like physical therapy.
Other factors may impact the damages you receive, as will the severity of your injuries. If you lost a loved one in a fuel truck accident, your damages may be higher, as well.
At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, our team is well-versed in determining the fair value of a case.

Who Is Liable in My Fuel Truck Accident Case?
Liability in fuel truck accident cases can quickly become complicated. This is due to the range of potentially liable parties. Under Florida law, these groups may bear the responsibility for your injuries:
- The truck driver: If the truck driver in the accident was speeding, or didn’t adhere to Florida regulations, they may be responsible. Many trucks, like airplanes, carry black boxes with crash data that we can use in your case.
- The truck’s manufacturer: Your accident may have resulted from faulty parts. If this is the case, then the truck’s manufacturer could be held responsible.
- The truck driver’s employer: The truck driver’s employer’s decisions may have led to your accident, as well. We can investigate their activities prior to the accident and determine if their negligence caused your injuries.
In fuel truck accidents, multiple parties can be liable. In some instances, all the above parties may owe your damages. During our case investigation, we can determine to what degree each party was liable.
Don’t Hesitate to Get Started on Your Case
Florida law imposes a deadline on filing a lawsuit. Per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a), you have four years from the time of your accident to file a lawsuit. If you are filing for a lost loved one, this deadline is two years.
Don’t wait to seek legal support after your fuel truck accident. While four years may sound like ample time, several factors can slow down your case. Our team at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can ensure that meet your deadlines.
