How Our Truck Accident Attorney Can Help You With Your Case
Our law firm is equipped to handle all aspects of your case. When you hire us, you can trust our team to:
Determine Fault and Liability
For us to win your case, we must first establish who is to blame for the accident. Guilty parties may include the truck driver, a third-party driver, the manufacturer, a truck inspector, or the trucking company. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets specific regulations for commercial trucking companies and drivers. If they broke any of these rules, which led to the accident, they could be responsible.
We can look at evidence such as video footage, accident reports, eyewitness accounts, or expert testimony to determine who was responsible for the accident.
Build Your Case
Once we establish who is at fault for your accident, our Melbourne truck accident lawyer will work to build your case. We gather all necessary documents, prepare your claim, and submit it to the insurance company. We also engage with all relevant parties on your behalf and manage your entire case from start to finish.
Calculate Your Damages
The evidence we gather helps us get a closer look at the extent of your financial and personal losses. We look at damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability, rehabilitation, loss of consortium, and the overall negative impact the truck accident had on your life. This way, our auto accident lawyers have an idea of the compensation we will aim for during negotiations or at trial.
Negotiate a Settlement
We submit all relevant documents to the insurance company for their review. The insurance company will either reject your claim or make an offer. If the insurer rejects your claim or offers a low settlement, you may have the option to file a lawsuit. Our law firm is prepared to represent you in court.
Work With You on a Contingency-Fee Basis
Hiring a lawyer on a contingency-fee basis means you only pay legal fees if your case is successfully resolved through a settlement or court award. This arrangement allows you to pursue justice without upfront costs or financial risk. Your lawyer’s fee is a predetermined percentage of the compensation you receive. This approach aligns your attorney’s incentives with your success, ensuring they are fully committed to securing a fair settlement for your case without adding to your financial burden.
Our Truck Crash Team Also Handles Wrongful Death Cases
If the accident resulted in the death of a loved one, then your family may be entitled to pursue compensation for:
- Funeral or burial expenses
- Lost household income
- Pain and suffering of the deceased
- Medical bills prior to death
You Must File Your Truck Accident Lawsuit on Time in Melbourne, FL
Though it may seem difficult to get started on your case immediately after the accident, we encourage you to get started right away. Florida Statutes § 95.11 generally only gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Similarly, the statute of limitations in Florida for wrongful death cases is two years from your loved one’s death, according to the same statute. Failure to file your case on time could result in the loss of compensation.
