You Have a Limited Period to File a Lawsuit
The statute of limitations provides a time frame to bring a civil action against the negligent party. According to Florida’s statute of limitations, you have four years to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for losses. The four years generally start tallying from the day of your accident. In some circumstances, the plaintiff may file a suit after the four-year period elapses.
But act quickly so you can meet any deadlines that apply to your case. Our team will help you with the paperwork and other steps necessary to comply with Florida’s statute of limitations.
How Negligence Causes Concrete Truck Accidents
Negligence refers to acting in a careless or reckless manner. For example, a concrete truck driver who operates the vehicle while intoxicated or distracted is negligent. Drivers who speed, follow other vehicles too closely, or otherwise engage in dangerous driving behaviors are negligent.
Other examples of negligence that can contribute to accidents include:
- Hiring poorly trained or unqualified commercial drivers
- Violating commercial truck regulations
- Poor vehicle maintenance and inspection records
If negligence causes an accident and injuries, then the driver and their employer may be liable for losses like medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Some of the parties that may be liable for an accident caused by a concrete truck include:
- Concrete truck driver
- Driver’s employer
- Truck manufacturer
Our concrete truck accident attorneys can evaluate your case to identify the cause and which parties may be responsible. We will file the appropriate claims, build your case, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Recovering Compensation for Your Losses
A settlement for a concrete truck accident claim should account for short-term losses like emergency medical care and lost wages while recovering from injuries, and also the long-term losses associated with your injuries.
Our attorneys will negotiate for a settlement that accounts for all your short- and long-term losses, including:
- Medical treatment
- Ongoing medical care
- Physical therapy or rehabilitation
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
If you lost a loved one in an accident involving a concrete truck, you could file a wrongful death claim. Your family may recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, lost wages from the deceased, medical bills, and more.
