Our Attorneys Navigate Complex Truck Accident Cases
Navigating truck accident claims in Palm City can be daunting. Several parties may be liable for your injuries, and these cases often feature evidence not common in most auto accident cases. The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can handle this process for you.
Identifying Liable Parties
Our legal team reviews all parties potentially liable for your accident, including but not limited to:
- Truck Driver: The truck driver who caused your accident may bear responsibility for your injuries.
- Truck Carrier (Trucking Company): The carrier may be vicariously liable for the truck driver’s negligence, and in some cases, the carrier may be directly liable for violating trucking rules, failing to maintain the truck, hiring unqualified drivers, or other oversights.
- Vehicle Manufacturer: A manufacturer may be liable if a defect with the truck caused or contributed to the wreck.
- Other Third Parties: Given the complex nature of trucking and shipping, other parties may bear liability for your injuries, too, so speak with a Palm City truck accident lawyer about your personal injury claim.
Gathering and Analyzing Critical Evidence
We take charge of obtaining crucial evidence, much of which may be within the carrier’s control:
- Driver’s Hours of Service Logs: These logs may prove breaches of federal regulations concerning how long drivers may operate the truck without a break.
- Maintenance Records: These records could indicate the carrier or driver failed to properly maintain the vehicle or neglected vital repairs.
- Training and Personnel Records: These records could indicate whether the driver was adequately qualified and trained to operate the truck and whether the carrier failed to put qualified drivers behind the wheel.
Our team also gathers evidence like photographs of the accident scene, eyewitness testimony, video surveillance if it exists, and police or accident reports. We may even work with accident reconstruction specialists who can help identify how the accident occurred and what caused it.

Recovering full compensation for injuries sustained in truck accidents is crucial, given the potentially severe nature of these injuries. Victims may face life-altering conditions such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other significant trauma that not only affects their current well-being but also their future quality of life and financial stability.
Considerations for Full Compensation in Truck Accident Cases
Our legal team focuses on securing compensation that covers:
- Medical Bills: Both current and future medical treatments, surgeries, medication, and rehabilitation.
- Long-term Care: For severe injuries requiring long-term medical care, home care, or changes to living arrangements to accommodate disabilities.
- Lost Wages and Earning Capacity: Compensation for time off work and potential future earnings lost due to long-term effects of the injuries.
- Pain and Suffering: This includes compensation for the pain and emotional distress from the accident and injuries.
- Quality of Life: Compensation for changes in the victim’s ability to enjoy life and participate in activities they once loved.
