Truck accidents can devastate families. Many truck accident victims do not survive. Those who do often suffer life-altering injuries. If you were injured or your loved one died in a commercial truck accident caused by another party, you may be able to recover significant compensation. However, insurance companies will look for anything they can use to deny, delay, or devalue your claim.
You need an experienced Fort Lauderdale truck accident lawyer who understands federal and state trucking regulations inside and out and has a proven record of success. At Rosen Injury Law, we have been protecting truck accident injury victims and their families for nearly twenty years, helping them recover maximum compensation. We are dedicated to doing the same for you. Call (954) 787-1500 or visit our contact page to schedule a free consultation to discuss your Florida truck accident claim.
How Long Do You Have To File Your Truck Accident Claim?
As outlined in Florida Statute §95.11, most personal injury claims, including those arising from truck accidents, have a two-year statute of limitations. That means you must file your claim within two years of your accident. If you miss your filing deadline, you will not be able to recover any compensation.
However, there are exceptions to the two-year filing deadline. So, you must promptly consult an experienced Florida truck accident lawyer to ensure you understand your deadline.
In addition to ensuring that you do not miss your statute of limitations, you should also consult an experienced truck accident attorney to help preserve evidence before it is lost or destroyed. At Rosen Injury Law, our injury attorney in Fort Lauderdale and across South Florida immediately acts to preserve and gather evidence from the accident scene and from other sources, such as electronic logbooks, trucking company maintenance records, dashcam, and traffic camera footage.
In a relatively short time, this evidence can be overwritten, erased, destroyed, or otherwise lost if it is not quickly collected and preserved. We also act fast to interview eyewitnesses, whose memories can fade if not memorialized soon after the accident. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can begin building your strongest case and pursuing the compensation you deserve.
Florida’s 14-Day Medical Treatment Deadline
Florida Statutes §627.736 requires you to seek medical treatment within 14 days of your accident to qualify for personal injury protection (PIP) benefits. If you miss this deadline, it can also harm your injury claim because insurance companies will argue that your delayed treatment shows that your injuries are not as severe as you claim.
