Lake Worth Truck Accident Lawyers

Although all accidents are serious, the stakes are higher when a commercial truck is involved.

If you have been involved in an accident with a commercial truck, it is important to seek legal representation as soon as possible. An experienced lawyer can help you preserve critical evidence from the crash, such as the data from the truck. There are many factors that may have contributed to the crash, including driver error, faulty equipment, overweight loads, improper training of the driver, improper licensure, and negligent hiring and retention of the driver. An experienced legal team can help you navigate the complexities of your truck accident and help build a case against the negligent driver and owner of the commercial vehicle.

If you are injured in a commercial truck accident, it is important to seek medical attention right away. As soon as you are physically able, you should contact an experienced commercial truck accident lawyer, like those at Warner & Fitzmartin. We have experience handling truck accident cases, are familiar with trucking laws and requirements, and can help guide you through the legal process, as well as work tirelessly for you to get the most compensation possible. We are extremely responsive to your needs and aggressively advocate for you against the trucking insurance company.

Truck accidents take place across South Florida at an alarming rate. Whether caused by driver error, driver fatigue leading to careless mistakes, road conditions, or violation of traffic laws, all trucking accidents are nerve-wracking due to the sheer size and weight of the truck compared to other vehicles. Due to the disadvantage of the smaller passenger vehicles, these accidents often result in death or serious injuries for those involved.

If you have been injured in a commercial truck accident due to another’s acts of negligence, it is crucial that you act as quickly as possible to protect your legal rights. Insurance companies will try to take advantage of you unless you have an experienced lawyer on your side fighting for you.

If you are involved in a commercial trucking accident due to a driver or owner’s negligence, you are entitled to various types of compensation under Florida law. You are entitled to be compensated for your medical expenses, both in the past and in the future. You are also entitled to be compensated for your lost wages, both in the past and in the future. Additionally, you can seek compensation for your pain and suffering, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and mental anguish in the past and in the future. If you were married at the time of the crash, your spouse may also have a claim for loss of consortium, which is for the loss of your companionship and services due to your injury. In certain circumstances, punitive damages may be sought against the trucking company. These damages are meant to punish the trucking company for egregious wrongs. We will be able to discuss your particular damages further during your free initial case consultation.
