Florida Truck Accident Attorney – (En Espanol)
A commercial trucking accident will typically result in catastrophic or fatal injuries to occupants of passenger vehicles and possibly the truck driver. If a member of your family was involved in a semi-truck accident, whether as the driver of the tractor trailer or as an occupant of a car, you may be dealing with an overwhelming burden of medical treatment, household and medical bills, and concerns about lost wages and the loss of your car at a time when you need to focus on rebuilding your life.
Yet within days, possibly even hours of the crash, you may have been approached by a representative of the trucking company or the insurance company and asked to make a statement or sign a settlement form. It is extremely important to get the advice of a lawyer with experience in truck accident claims in order to protect your right to fair compensation. Call 1-888-JZ-HELPS (1-888-594-3577) or e-mail experienced truck accident attorney Justin Ziegler to learn about your rights.
Truck accident insurance claims – a tangled web
Injuries from semi-truck accidents often have life-altering consequences – paraplegia or quadriplegia, permanent brain damage such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), amputation, chronic pain due to spinal cord injury, or sadly, death. Medical expenses, compensation for loss of employability, or years of projected nursing home care may push the total losses far over the limit of your medical and auto insurance coverage. As a lawyer with extensive experience in handling Florida truck accident claims Justin Ziegler understands how important it is to identify all possible sources of compensation for victims of a truck wreck. With the help of our professional accident investigation experts he will find answers to important questions:
- Did the accident involve truck driver negligence, such as driving without sleep, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or without proper concern for others?
- Was the trucking company negligent in vehicle maintenance, equipment inspections, hiring, or training?
- Were the truck accident injuries the result of defective auto equipment such as brakes, air horn, or air bags?
- Most important: Who shares responsibility for the truck accident, and what insurance policies cover losses?
