Immediate Steps After a Truck Accident:

Prioritize medical attention and consult an attorney for legal guidance.

  • Trucking Company Liability: Trucking companies can be liable for accidents due to driver errors, maintenance failures, or cargo-related issues.
  • Independent Contractor or Owner-Operator Cases: Owner-operators should have liability insurance, allowing you to file a claim under their policy.
  • Proving Fault: An attorney can conduct thorough investigations, utilizing evidence like driver logs, maintenance records, and eyewitness statements.
  • Potential Compensation: Compensation depends on the accident’s impact, covering both current and future financial and non-financial losses.
  • Role of a Truck Accident Lawyer: An experienced lawyer can negotiate effectively and litigate if necessary, addressing the unique challenges of truck accident cases.
  • Legal Fees: Most Florida truck accident attorneys, including Gabriel J. Carrera, work on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront costs for you.
  • Dealing with Insurance Tactics: An attorney can counteract insurance companies’ attempts to shift blame onto you, ensuring a fair assessment of fault.
  • Settlements vs. Trials: While most truck accident claims settle, some may require court proceedings to secure just compensation.
