Miami Truck Accident Lawyer (Serving Florida)

Miami Truck Accident Lawyer : Coral Gables, South Miami 18 Wheelers

We want to get you compensated for your injuries.

If a truck driver’s negligence caused your injury in Miami or anywhere in Florida, we want to fight to get you money for:

  • Your car damage
  • Diminished Value of Your Vehicle (if applicable)
  • A Rental Car
  • Replacement value of lost personal property (e.g. damage to your car, broken glasses, watch, etc.)
  • Your mileage to and from medical appointments
  • Past medical bills
  • Future medical bills
  • Past lost wages
  • Future loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Inconvenience
  • Punitive damages (if appropriate)

If a truck driver causes your family member’s death

If a truck driver crashes into a family member and kills them, we will make a claim for:

  • Metal pain and suffering
  • Medical and funeral expenses
  • Lost support and services
  • Other damages

We’ll demand that the careless driver preserves the truck

We will make sure that all evidence is preserved in your truck accident claim.

Truck accident claims are different

Truck accident claims are different than car accident claims because:

1. Truck drivers are subject to many more regulations that are drivers of cars.

Do you know what they are? We do.

2. The event data recorder of the truck should be preserved.

Do you know how to request this? We do.

Are you willing to pay an expert $2,500 to download the event data recorder? We are.

3. Trucks may have additional insurance.

There may be additional sources of insurance that are not typically available in a car accident case.  These include, but are not limited to, insurance on the trailer, dispatcher and broker-shipper liability).

Are you injured and unsure what to do when your car is hit by a truck in Florida?

We have experience hiring an accident reconstructionist, which can start at $2,500, immediately following the crash.

If a truck crashes into you and causes your injuries, we’ll do everything possible to quickly get you a rental car.

Well work nonstop and demand that the insurance company to quickly fix your car after an accident.

Don’t speak to the truck driver’s claims adjuster without a lawyer

Never speak with a truck accident claims adjuster after the crash.  If the truck driver was at fault, or if you were driving a truck and a car hit you, it is important to know when it is OK to speak with the insurance company for the person that caused the crash.

We will immediately set up a claim, in writing, with the insurance company for the car or truck that was caused your accident.

We’ll request your medical records and bills

We will immediately request and send all of your medical bills and records to the truck driver and owner’s insurance company.  We’ll also send them to any other insurers involved.

If you were in a truck that was hit by a car and you were seriously injured we will:

We’ll have an expert inspect the truck

1. Make sure that the event data recorder is downloaded from the truck. You will need to hire an expert to do this.

We’ll demand that Onstar data is preserved

2. Send a request, in writing, to the driver and owner of the car that hit you asking him or her to preserve the OnStar (or similar) event data recorder.

We’ll take pictures of the damages vehicles

3. Take pictures of the damage to any vehicles involved.

We’ll get witness statements

A witness can make or break a truck accident case.  We will immediately get witness statements.

We have had settled many truck accident cases where our client suffered a permanent injury and/or scarring or disfigurement.  We understand that different laws may apply if a truck that is insured insured in another state causes a Florida accident.

If appropriate, we will make a claim for punitive damages if the truck driver was drunk.

We got $445,000 for a client after a truck hit him

We fought hard to get a $445,000 settlement for a motorcycle rider.  He had surgery on his tibia (lower leg bone) after a crash with a 18 wheeler in Miami, Florida.

The trucking company’s insurance initially offered $100,000.  We spent $2,500 to hire an accident reconstruction expert to inspect the truck and attempt to download its “black box”.
