Every truck accident case is different. The amount of money that can be awarded in an insurance settlement or a court verdict can vary.
When our truck accident attorneys in Delray Beach, FL, calculate what your claim might be worth, we’ll consider:
We work closely with reliable expert witnesses, including accident reconstructionists, medical specialists, vocational rehabilitation professionals, and forensic specialists. We’ll turn to them for help evaluating your damages and determining how much money you need to be awarded so that you’re fully compensated for the crash.
In Florida, plaintiffs in truck accident cases may be entitled to two types of compensatory damages: economic and non-economic.
Economic damages help you handle the objective financial struggles you experience because of the crash, including:
Non-economic damages help you deal with personal losses and trauma that are much more difficult to value, including:
In limited cases, a Florida court can also award punitive damages. Punitive damages are appropriate if there’s convincing proof that the defendant was grossly negligent or acted intentionally.
At Dalton Injury Law, we have extensive experience fighting for victims of all types of truck accidents in Delray Beach, including:
Don’t assume that semi-truck accident cases are like typical car accident cases. They’re actually very different, so it’s important to work with an attorney who is familiar with federal trucking regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), knows which evidence has to be preserved and analyzed to help you establish liability and win your case, and has the resources to go toe-to-toe with multi-million-dollar corporations.
We offer the skilled and resourceful legal representation you’ll need to make the most of your case. Call our Florida truck accident attorneys for help today.
Many of Florida’s thousands of annual truck accidents can be attributed to violations of FMCSA trucking regulations and simple negligence.
Some of the most common causes of these truck crashes include:
When truck drivers and trucking companies ignore important regulations related to vehicle inspections, minimum driver requirements, and local traffic laws, it sets the stage for serious accidents in which others can be seriously injured or killed.
Yes. The trucking company is generally responsible for FMCSA compliance and overseeing safe trucking operations. A trucking service is required to hire and train competent and qualified truck drivers, regularly inspect its fleet of vehicles for problems and/or defects, and secure and transport cargo as safely as possible.
When a trucking company violates safety regulations, it can be considered negligent. In turn, the service can potentially be liable for resulting damages if there’s a big rig accident.
Additionally, the trucking company may be vicariously liable for truck driver negligence. If the driver is an employee, the trucking service that employs them can be on the hook if that driver speeds, engages in unsafe behavior at the wheel, suffers from road rage, or drives longer than hours-of-service regulations permit.
You can potentially file a legal claim for damages against anyone who contributed to your truck accident, including:
Under Florida law, liability for auto accidents is proportionate to fault. The more someone bears responsibility for a truck accident, the more they’ll be held accountable for related medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
Since trucks are considerably taller, heavier, and longer than other vehicles on the road, they’re capable of causing catastrophic trauma if they get into wrecks.
It’s common for victims of Florida truck accidents to experience:
Always call 911 to report an accident involving a large commercial vehicle and seek prompt medical attention. Then, take a moment to call Dalton Injury Law so that you can learn about the steps you’ll need to take to hold a negligent truck driver and their trucking employer accountable for your costs and suffering.
Our Delray Beach truck accident attorneys handle cases on a contingency fee basis. There is no out-of-pocket or upfront cost to hire our law firm. You only pay when we recover compensation on your behalf.
When we win your truck accident case in Delray Beach, our attorney fees are simply deducted from your insurance settlement or jury award. If we don’t win, you owe us absolutely nothing.
Yes. Under Florida law, shared fault will potentially limit your financial recovery or bar one entirely.
You can recover compensation as long as you aren’t more than 50% responsible for the accident. However, your damages will be reduced in proportion to your share of fault. If you’re assigned most of the blame for your trucking accident, you forfeit the right to demand compensation from others – even if they’re also responsible for the crash.
Florida applies a two-year statute of limitations to most commercial truck accident lawsuits. So, you’ll have up to two years from the date of your accident with a large truck to seek damages.
There are some exceptions, but they’re few and far between. Most involve work-related truck accidents, accidents involving children, and government tort claims.
If you miss the filing deadline for your specific case, you run the risk of losing the ability to recover damages from those responsible for your injuries.
