Trying to seek compensation after a trucking accident can be confusing and overwhelming. Who owes you damages? How do you deal with insurance companies that do not want to pay you fairly?
At Anidjar & Levine, our Maitland truck accident lawyers know how to deal with all of the legal challenges we may encounter in a case like yours. We can even speak to the insurance company on your behalf. Call now to find out how a Maitland personal injury lawyer from our firm can help you.
When Should You Consult With A Maitland Truck Accident Lawyer?
We recommend that accident victims see a doctor first and then consult with us when they are medically stable. There are several reasons why we suggest this:
- Nothing is more important than your health, so prompt medical care is essential.
- Seeing a doctor right away can make it easier to prove your case to the insurance company.
- Florida law states that you only have two years to put your case together and file a lawsuit, so you do not want to delay legal action any longer than it takes to receive treatment.
- Evidence often becomes harder to find as time passes.
- You deserve to get your money as soon as possible so you can concentrate on moving forward from this accident.
How Can Our Attorneys Help Truck Accident Victims?
The Maitland truck accident attorneys from our firm strive to make it as simple as possible for you to get through the legal process and fight for the money you need.
To that end, our law firm can manage your entire case for you. This includes investigating the crash, identifying the liable party, and negotiating hard for a fair settlement.
As we are doing these things, you will hear from your attorney regularly. They will provide updates about your case and answer whatever questions you may have. If you ever have trouble making a legal decision—for example, if you are wondering whether or not to accept a settlement offer—we will be happy to advise you.
In addition, we assist clients with related tasks, such as scheduling appointments, helping them get their vehicle fixed, and negotiating with providers or insurers about their medical bills.
Past clients have praised our “unbelievable professionalism” and “pleasant” staff who are always willing to go “above and beyond” to make our clients’ lives easier. If you ever need anything at any time, reach out to us, and we will do what we can.
How Much Does A Commercial Truck Accident Lawyer Cost?
Our Maitland lawyers only get paid when you do. Instead of charging up front, we charge a contingency fee, which means you can pay us out of your settlement if and when you receive it.

How Can You Recover Damages After A Trucking Accident?
The most important thing you can do to recover damages is to act quickly. If possible, start collecting evidence even before you leave the scene of the accident.
This may include taking pictures of the truck, your vehicle, your injuries, and the roadway. If the truck driver is still on the scene, ask for their driver’s license and insurance information.
Once you have hired our commercial truck accident lawyers, we can figure out the right strategy to pursue the money you need.
What Kinds Of Damages Are You Entitled To For Your Truck Accident Injuries?
The liable party should pay for everything you have lost because of the accident. A fair settlement will cover all past, present, and future economic damages, such as:
- Medical expenses
- Property damage
- Loss of wages and benefits
- Loss of earning capacity
- Loss of employment
- Out-of-pocket expenses
You also deserve compensation for your physical and mental anguish, which may include things like pain and suffering, psychological trauma, disabling injuries, scar tissue, loss of consortium, loss of independence, and reduced quality of life.
Your legal representative can sit down with you and, based on your testimony, create a complete list of the damages you are eligible for.
Who Is Legally Responsible For Your Truck Crash?
The trucking company is often responsible for accidents involving big rigs. Our legal team can take action against them if they:
- Failed to obey state or federal trucking regulations
- Are the employer of a truck driver who behaved negligently
- Pushed drivers to work longer and harder than was safe
In cases where the trucking company is not liable, you may instead be able to file a claim against the truck driver, a vehicle mechanic, a cargo loader, or even the local government.
Sometimes, more than one party may be responsible for a crash. When this happens, you can seek compensation from all liable parties.
How Do You Prove Who Is Liable For Your Accident Injuries?
Your lawyer can collect evidence from many different sources, including the Maitland Police Department’s accident report, witness statements, video footage, and even subject matter experts, such as an accident reconstructionist’s analysis of the crash site.
Anidjar & Levine knows that the best way to protect our clients’ rights is by making their cases as strong as possible. This can minimize the chances that the insurance company will find a reason to deny or underpay your claim. You can depend on us to collect all available evidence to support your case.
