Starting Your Truck Accident Case Soon is Paramount for Your Right to Recovery
How long you have to file your case depends on the type of lawsuit you are filing:
- Personal injury: Generally speaking, the state enforces a four-year filing deadline under Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a).
- Wrongful death: Those who lose a loved one in a truck accident typically have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d).
If you do not comply with the applicable deadline, the liable party may file a motion to dismiss the case. The court will most likely grant this motion and refuse to hear your case, even if you have solid evidence. When this occurs, you may be out of options for securing compensation.
Types of Damages That Apopka Truck Accident Victims Can Collect
If you or a family member were hurt in a truck accident, you may be eligible to recoup losses such as:
- Past and future medical costs
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Income loss
- Future lost earning potential
- Disability
- Mental anguish
- Property damage
- Funeral bills
- Loss of inheritance
- Loss of consortium
Some of these damages may be difficult to quantify, especially the intangible losses. However, your lawyer can review your medical bills, wage statements, and other out-of-pocket expenses and talk to your medical team to fully understand how the truck accident has affected your life. These figures and responses will help us assess your case in its entirety.

Our Truck Accident Lawyers don’t Charge Any Upfront Fees to Help You
It is understandable to feel uneasy about hiring a law firm when you are struggling to pay medical expenses and take care of other bills. However, the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can help alleviate this financial strain by taking your case on a contingency-fee basis.
In other words, we will not take any payment from you:
- By the hour
- Up front
- Out of pocket
Your lawyer charges their fee from the settlement or court award they obtain for you. If they do not achieve either of these outcomes, no payment is due.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there are several factors that often cause or contribute to truck accidents. Examples include:
- Driver fatigue
- Driving while intoxicated
- Speeding and other types of reckless driving
- Distracted driving
- Improper lane change
- Failure to follow traffic signals
- Failure to maintain the truck
- Improperly loading cargo
- Defective roadways
- Faulty vehicle parts
The majority of these behaviors are caused by driver error. However, other responsible parties may include:
- The truck driver’s employer if they failed to properly carry out background checks or enforce FMCSA regulations
- A government agency if it didn’t address road debris or block off a road hazard
- A parts manufacturer if they designed or produced a faulty vehicle part
- Maintenance and cargo companies if they failed to ensure that the cargo in the truck was properly secured
Using evidence like the crash report, video footage, and black box information, we can figure out who bears fault for your truck accident.
