As online commerce booms, so does the number of trucks on today’s roads. Delivering cargo to and from destinations has made semis and 18-wheelers an ever-present sight throughout Florida. However, when one of these trucks collides with a smaller passenger vehicle––or even worse, a bicyclist or pedestrian––there is no limit to the severity of injuries and losses that can occur.
If you were injured or lost a loved one in a truck accident, you have the right to explore your legal options. A Winter Garden personal injury lawyer can help you review those options by investigating your claim, determining liability, and pursuing compensation for your collision-related expenses. You do not have to undergo the legal process alone while recovering from your injuries or mourning the loss of a loved one.
At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we go the extra mile for our clients. We believe that your quality of life under no circumstances should be impacted by a negligent party. To get started with a free case review, call us today.
Liable Parties in Your Truck Accident
Many different parties could be held responsible for your damages following a truck accident. Your Winter Garden truck accident lawyer’s goal will be to determine who they are and pursue compensation from them.
Possible parties who could be held responsible for the collision include:
- The individual truck driver
- The trucker’s employer
- The company that built the truck
- The company that loaded the truck’s cargo
- A government agency or municipality, if hazardous roadways contributed to the accident
Your case must be built on evidence in order for it to be successful. This evidence could include your medical records, the police report, photos and videos, and other relevant items. You can help your legal team by keeping all documents relating to your medical care and property damage, as this will be used later on to demonstrate the extent of your accident-related losses.
To learn more about what this entails, call the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine today.
How a Winter Garden Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help
Your lawyer will review your case in its entirety, and from there, determine a plan of action to promote its success.

- Estimating the cost of your economic and noneconomic damages
- Advising you on your legal options as your case develops
