How Are Truck Accident Claims Different From Car Accident Claims?
Truck accident claims are complex, usually involving multiple parties, lawyers, and insurance companies. They involve both federal and state regulations, typically involve more severe injuries and larger liability insurance coverage, and identifying and proving causation and liability are often challenging.
Trucking companies and their insurance companies have defense attorneys who go to work immediately after an accident, working to defend against your claim. At the same time, you may still be disoriented and recovering from the aftermath of your accident.
With much larger liability coverage at risk, insurance companies work even harder to shift blame to you to help avoid or minimize paying out damages.
You need the assistance of a skilled Lighthouse Point personal injury lawyer with experience and a proven track record of success in handling truck accident injury claims.
How Long Does It Take To Reach a Settlement in a Lighthouse Point Truck Accident Case?
How long it takes to settle your case depends on numerous factors. The more severe your injuries and the length of your recovery, the longer it will take to resolve your claim. It also depends on whether liability is genuinely disputed, the available evidence, the strength of your case, and whether we will need to set your case for trial.
At Rosen Injury Law, our attorneys are excellent negotiators who can help reach a fair settlement of your claim as quickly as possible. However, some factors are out of our control. Once we evaluate your claim and begin negotiating with the insurance companies, we can sometimes provide an estimate of how long the settlement will take.
How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Truck Accident Case?
If you were injured in a truck accident caused by another party, you likely have a valid truck accident case. When you consult with the truck accident lawyers at Rosen Injury Law, we will listen to you, answer your questions, and explain your rights. At this time, we will tell you whether we believe you have a good case.
In almost all truck accident cases, your claim will be based on negligence. To succeed in a negligence case, you must establish the existence of four elements:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care. (All motorists owe a duty of care to drive safely to avoid harming others.)
- The defendant breached their duty of care. (For example, if the truck was speeding and ran a traffic light.)
- The defendant’s breach of duty was the cause of your accident and injuries. (In the above example, you must prove that the truck’s speed and running of the red light is what caused your accident.)
- You suffered actual damages caused by the defendant’s breach of duty. (Medical expenses, damage to your vehicle, and other proof of damages may show this.)
Our attorneys carefully investigate your accident and conduct discovery to uncover vital evidence to prove each element of negligence, to establish and accurately value your damages, and to build your strongest case.
What If I Am Partially At Fault in a Truck Accident?
Because Florida follows a modified comparative fault model, you may still be able to recover compensation if you are no more than 50% at fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you will be barred from recovering compensation.
Your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if your damages are $100,000 and you are found to be 25% at fault, you may still recover $75,000 after deducting your percentage of fault.
How Much Will a Lighthouse Point Truck Accident Lawyer Cost?
At Rosen Injury Law, our Lighthouse Point truck accident lawyers handle your case on a contingency fee basis. This means that we will cover all expenses related to pursuing your claim, and you will owe us nothing until we recover compensation on your behalf.
