How Can Construction Trucks Cause Collisions?
Human error is the main cause of all collisions involving construction trucks. After evaluating your situation, we may find that your accident was the result of:
- Driver intoxication or fatigue
- A construction truck on public roadways (or in a restricted area)
- Backing up without looking
- Reckless or careless driving
- Driver inexperience
We may also find that the truck’s operator was not certified to drive the vehicle.
Does Florida Have a Statute of Limitations on Truck Accident Lawsuits?
When considering your options, keep in mind that every state has a civil statute of limitations. In Florida, the plaintiff has up to four years to file a lawsuit, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a).
Our construction truck accident team will manage all of your case’s deadlines, including the statute of limitations.
What Damages Can You Recover from a Construction Truck Accident?
If you’ve been in an accident with a construction truck, then you are likely facing numerous injuries. These injuries have monetary damages associated with them, and you can seek compensation for each one.
Examples of compensable economic damages include:
- Medical bills, including future care costs
- Hospital stays
- Prescription costs
- Physical therapy
- Damaged property
- Lost wages and benefits
You can also pursue non-economic losses. These are damages that relate to your quality of life. These include:
- Mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disability
- Scarring
- Loss of consortium
You can consult your West Palm Beach construction truck accident lawyer about your options. We will use your medical bills, wage records, and personal testimony to determine what you’re owed. We will not settle for a dime less than you deserve.
We Will Pursue the Liable Parties for What You Need
You may wonder who should pay for your collision-related losses. In construction truck accidents, more than one party could be liable for your losses. For instance, if you were hit by a truck operated by a construction worker, you could hold both the worker and their employer liable for your losses.
Other liable parties in your case could include:
- A government agency
- A property owner
- The truck’s maintenance crew or manufacturer
- Another road user
You can trust that our team will consider your legal options and pursue damages from everyone who contributed to your accident.
