If you or a loved one was injured in an accident involving a garbage truck, you could qualify to recover compensation. The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can provide you with a Tallahassee truck accident lawyer to help you fight for damages. We provide free consultations.
Compensation for Losses from a Garbage Truck Accident
Our injury attorneys battle for the money you need. This is money you can use to:
- Pay your expenses
- Seek medical care
- Recover lost income
- Compensate for your pain and suffering
Do not sign a settlement agreement without first consulting a lawyer, as the insurance company may not account for your long-term losses. You deserve compensation for long-term medical care as well as diminished earning capacity if your injuries affect your ability to work.
The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will negotiate for a fair settlement that covers all your short- and long-term losses.

File Your Lawsuit Before the Deadline
In the state of Florida, a statute of limitations provides a deadline for filing your claim. You have four years to file your lawsuit. If you do not meet this deadline, you could be unable to recover compensation for your losses.
Let our Tallahassee garbage truck accident lawyers help you meet the deadlines that apply to your case so you do not lose your right to recover compensation.
Liability for a Garbage Truck Accident
Responsibility for a garbage truck accident can be more complex than collisions involving privately owned passenger cars. If a garbage truck driver causes an accident, the driver could be liable for injuries, but so could the driver’s employer.
Some of the parties that may be liable for your injuries include:
- Garbage truck driver
- Driver’s employer
- Truck manufacturer
- Parties responsible for maintenance
Our attorneys can help you sort out the parties that could bear responsibility for your injuries and take appropriate legal action. We’ll retrieve evidence like accident reports, eyewitness statements, photographs, truck driver records, and more. We can even send a spoliation letter to the truck company to preserve evidence in its possession.
What to Do Following a Collision With a Garbage Truck
Take these steps if you were in an accident with a garbage truck in Tallahassee:
- Call for help if anybody suffered injuries.
- Report the accident to the police.
- Move the vehicles involved in the collision out of the way of traffic.
- Write down the garbage truck driver’s information.
- Get contact information from eyewitnesses.
- Take photographs of the accident scene and the vehicles.
- Get medical attention if you didn’t require emergency care.
- Speak with a lawyer about your case.
Causes of Accidents With Garbage Trucks
Liability for your injuries will depend largely on what or who caused the accident. Some causes of accidents involving garbage trucks include:
- Aggressive or careless driving like speeding or failing to check for other vehicles when operating the truck
- Distracted driving, such as texting while operating the vehicle
- Driving while intoxicated
- Improper maintenance or inspections
- Hiring unqualified drivers
Our investigation will aim to uncover the factors that caused or contributed to the accident, and which parties are responsible for your losses.
We don’t Get Paid Unless You Do
Our personal injury lawyers work on contingency fees, meaning we only get paid attorney fees if you recover compensation. If you do not settle your case or get a judgment, then you do not pay attorney fees. There are no upfront costs to hire our garbage truck accident lawyers.
