We Aim to Hold Responsible Parties Accountable for Your Injuries
The damage after a big rig accident can be so widespread that it is difficult to determine how the accident occurred or who is at fault. To make matters worse, your injuries may prevent you from finding out what really happened. Our law firm can investigate the case to determine who is at fault. Negligent parties in a big rig accident may include:
The Truck Driver
Truck drivers are responsible for operating the rig safely while on the road. A driver may have been sleepy, intoxicated, or distracted when they slammed into your vehicle. The driver may have lacked the necessary training to operate their rig. As a result, they might not have been prepared to handle the situation that led to your accident.
The Truck or Truck Parts Manufacturer
A flawed design can lead to a vehicle that is poorly built and hard to drive on the road. An assembly line worker may have installed a defective part which led to a malfunction in the brakes, tires, steering, headlights, or other areas of the truck. When this happens, the manufacturer or designer may be liable for your injuries.
The Trucking Company
Trucking companies must adhere to laws and regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Florida state government (such as Florida Statutes §316.302). Companies must provide proper training for drivers and maintain a dependable working fleet of trucks that are safe on the road. Failure to follow safety standards can lead to accidents on the road.
The Inspection Company
Inspection agencies exist to ensure that trucking companies follow safety standards for big rigs and other large trucks. If an inspector misses or ignores a defective or worn part on a truck, it can lead to malfunctions on the highway. We can look more closely into your case to determine if the inspection company was responsible for your wreck.
Getting Compensation for Your Losses
Getting hit by a big rig can have devastating consequences, such as out-of-pocket medical expenses and lost pay. Outside of financial losses, an accident can also impact different areas of your life. We can explore your losses to determine what damages you can claim. Damages in a personal injury case may include:
- Medical costs
- Lost pay or benefits
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement or disability
- Loss of consortium
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
The insurance company may attempt to offer a quick settlement. However, you are not required to accept this offer. A Boca Raton big rig lawyer can assess your damages to determine what your case is really worth. Call 1-800-747-3733 to get a free case assessment.
What You Can Expect from Your Personal Injury Case
If you have never been in a big rig accident, you may not know how to navigate the legal system or what you can expect during the process. Our law firm has handled many cases similar to yours. We are ready to do the following:
Provide Legal Counsel
There is a good chance you will be going up against a major trucking company, their lawyer, and an insurance company. You may want to retain a lawyer that you can rely on to counsel you throughout the litigation. We have knowledge and resources to help you make legal decisions and seek a fair outcome for your case.
Establish Fault and Liability
We can conduct a thorough investigation of the accident and obtain evidence of fault and liability. We may gather evidence such as video surveillance, eyewitness statements, accident reports, expert testimony, or medical reports to demonstrate how the at-fault party’s negligence led to your injuries.
Push for the Fair Compensation
You deserve compensation that covers all of your damages so that you can get back on your feet. Our law firm can engage with the insurance company on your behalf to negotiate a fair settlement.
File a Lawsuit Against the At-Fault Party
Most personal injury cases are settled out of court. If the trucking company denies responsibility for the accident or the insurance company rejects your claim, you may be able to file a lawsuit. Our attorneys can prepare your case and represent you as you come before a judge or jury.
Let our law firm advocate for you as you take on the big rig companies. We can manage your entire case while you are recovering from injuries so that you do not have to wait to process your claim.
