We Act Fast to Pursue the Compensation Our Trucking Accident Clients Deserve
You have just two years to get started on your legal case under Florida law. It is critical that you meet this deadline. Those who try to file a lawsuit after two years have gone by will typically see their case rejected, and they may be unable to secure the money they need.
For this reason, we urge clients to speak to our attorneys as soon as possible. This gives us more time to design a legal strategy aimed at securing damages like the following:
Pain and Suffering Caused by the Crash
Jackknife accident injuries too often lead to debilitating physical pain and emotional trauma. You may also experience a loss of quality of life associated with disabling injuries and significant scarring.
Our Brevard County lawyers recognize the impact such losses have on your life. We can push the insurance company to pay an appropriate amount based on the extent and severity of your injuries.
Medical Expenses for Accident Injuries
The more serious your injuries, the more you may have to spend on diagnostic tests, visits with specialists, medication, physical therapy, and other treatments. You should be able to access the care you need without worrying about whether or not your health insurance will pay for it—and a legal action can enable you to do so.
Wages Lost Because of the Truck Accident
Whether you needed to take a few weeks off to recover or will never be able to return to your old job, you have lost too much. A truck injury attorney from your firm can ask for enough money to ensure you do not have to worry about supporting your family.
The Dangers of Jackknife Accidents
Semi-trucks are extremely large and heavy vehicles. When something goes wrong, it is often other road users who pay the price. A jackknife accident, in particular, can catch motorists off guard in the following ways:
- The truck’s trailer may abruptly swing into your lane
- The trailer may block the roadway, increasing the risk of a multi-car pile-up
- The cab or the trailer may collide with your vehicle
- Cargo could spill out onto the road
Such accidents can cause catastrophic injuries and loss of life, and devastating property damage.
If you are involved in a jackknife accident, it is important to get help right away. Call 911 from the scene. See a doctor or go to the hospital to receive whatever treatment you need. Finally, once you are out of danger, you can speak to our truck accident law firm to learn more about your options.
Insurance Companies Put Their Own Needs Over Those of Truck Accident Victims
Whether the liable party in your case is the truck driver, the trucking company, a maintenance team, or someone else, they will likely be represented by a powerful insurer. Unfortunately, too many insurance companies are more concerned about their bottom line than about accident victims.
We urge you to beware of the following tactics, which insurance adjusters often use to deprive claimants of an appropriate settlement:
- Requesting a recorded statement or irrelevant documentation
- Pressuring you to accept a settlement quickly
- Telling you that you do not need a lawyer
- Failing to respond to your communications in a reasonable amount of time
Anidjar & Levine understands how insurance companies operate. We are prepared to handle all communication with them on your behalf to protect your rights. You should not have to settle for whatever the insurance company wants to pay: you are entitled to full and fair compensation for all losses, and we can work towards a just outcome.
