Securing Compensation for Your Damages
The losses you suffer from a trucking accident are unique to your situation. Call our Crescent City truck accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine to discuss your claim for compensation.
Often, claims after a truck crash caused by the negligence of another may include the following:
- Your medical expenses starting from the date of the accident to the present, and including future costs, as it is common for severe injuries to require long-term care
- Loss of income during your recovery period, or a reduced earnings capacity if your work level is affected temporarily or permanently
- Loss of future earnings if your injury permanently prevents your return to work
- Property damage if your vehicle was damaged and needs repair or replacement
- The overall life changes and inconveniences imposed by a permanent disability or disfigurement
- The mental and physical pain and suffering a catastrophic injury inflicts
- Depression, anxiety, and mental anguish that often come after a traumatic event
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- The loss of or change in relationships
Determining Liability and Negligence in Truck Accidents
As our attorneys build your claim, our team will investigate the accident to find proof of fault for negligence and liability. Resolving accidents can be more complicated than a crash between two motor vehicles because there are more potentially negligent and responsible parties involved, including:
- Truck driver: The driver may have been driving recklessly or while impaired, distracted, or tired.
- Trucking company: The owners or managers may not have provided adequate training to the trucker, or they may not have checked their driving record or performed due diligence in their hiring practices.
- Cargo loaders: For the truck to maneuver properly when it is loaded, the cargo must be distributed evenly and secured properly to avoid shifting in transit.
- Truck maintenance crew: Poor maintenance can lead to numerous problems in the operation of a truck, potentially leading to an out-of-control truck.
- Truck or truck parts manufacturer: If a defective part is produced by a manufacturer and installed in the truck, it may cause an accident.
Meeting Florida’s Truck Accident Lawsuit Deadline
Most personal injury claims are settled, and they do not go to court. Our firm will build your compensation claim and file it with the liable party’s insurance company. We will also negotiate on your behalf for a full and fair settlement.
If the insurers do not negotiate in good faith, we may have to file a personal injury lawsuit and represent you in court. Florida Statutes § 95.11generally gives you two years from the date of your accident to begin legal action to recover your losses. If you do not file before the deadline, you may not be allowed to do so.
Types of Injuries Truck Accident Victims Suffer
When a car and truck collide, severe injuries may occur due to the vast difference in size between the vehicles, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Broken neck or back
- Burns
- Amputations
- Organ damage and other internal injuries
- Paralysis
