Every year, truck accidents in the United States take anywhere from three to four thousand lives and injure tens of thousands more. Many of the injured suffer lifelong debilitation that requires astronomical long-term medical expenses. Even temporary debilitation, however, can turn your life upside down.
A serious truck accident can be horrifying. The knowledge that the accident would not have happened but for the wrongful conduct of someone else (typically the truck driver) can be infuriating. You don’t have to lie there and take it – Florida personal injury law provides you with a financial remedy that can be enforced with the assistance of a Florida truck accident lawyer.
You can be certain that the insurance company will attempt to either deny your claim or minimize its value. After all, insurance companies are profit-seeking businesses, and they profit by accepting premiums, not by paying claims. Insurance adjusters seek one goal and one goal only – maximizing their employer’s profit by parting with as little money as possible.
With medical bills steadily mounting and lost work time accumulating as you attempt to regain your health and psychological composure, you might not feel up to the task of bargaining with professional insurance company negotiators.
Leave the negotiating to me – it’s my job. I know all the tricks that insurance companies try to pull, and I’m not going to fall for a single one of them. Naturally, I am willing and able to take them to court – which is, ironically, why most of my clients win out-of-court settlements without ever having to step into court at all.
Ultimately, of course, all major case decisions are yours to make, including whether to accept a settlement offer. I see it as my job to maximize the amount of the offer you receive and to take the stress off so that you can concentrate on regaining your health rather than worrying about how you are going to pay for it all.
It depends. If the driver was an employee, the company may be held responsible under the doctrine of respondeat superior. However, if the driver was an independent contractor (as many are), you would need to prove that the company itself was negligent, for example, by violating Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations.
