Compensation for Truck Accident Losses in Jupiter
Because you’ve been in a collision with a big truck, the physical and property damage you’ve sustained may be severe. In Florida, if negligence played a part in causing the car accident, you may be able to pursue a compensation settlement from the liable party’s insurance company. The damages you may recover could include:
- Property replacement or repair, including your vehicle and any personal property you had with you at the time of the accident, such as clothing, electronics, or other items in your car
- Medical care from the moment you were injured, including ambulance, hospital stay, surgery, medication, rehab, specialist care, medical equipment, short- and long-term care, at-home care, adaptation of your home or car to fit your needs, mental and physical therapy, future medical treatment as envisioned by your medical team, and transportation to and from medical appointments
- Out-of-pocket expenses, such as deductibles and co-pays, assistance with childcare, and home maintenance
- Income and benefits lost while you recover, as well as the difference in income if you can work but only at a lower-paying position.
- Lost future earnings should you be unable to return to work
- Pain and suffering experienced due to your injuries
- Emotional trauma, mental anguish, depression, or anxiety
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of or change in relationships due to your injury-related physical and emotional trauma
- Disability or disfigurement
The losses you suffer and the damages you may recover are unique to you and your injuries. One of our Jupiter truck accident attorneys can help you account for each of your losses and prepare your claim.
Remember that documentation of your losses and medical care is key to building a solid compensation claim. Contact us today if you’re wondering whether you should hire a lawyer to help with your claim.
Your Jupiter Truck Accident Lawyer Will Carry the Legal Burden as You Recover
A truck accident attorney knowledgeable in Florida’s personal injury laws will help you build a case for the compensation settlement you deserve. Typically, your lawyer will perform the following functions:
- Gathering evidence by collecting eyewitness statements, police and medical reports, and accident scene photos or videos
- Keeping you informed of the aspects of the law that pertain to you and your accident,
- Managing the administrative and technical aspects of your case
- Communicating with the insurance company and other involved parties on your behalf, giving you the privacy and peace to work on your recovery
- Preparing and filing your compensation claim
- Negotiating with the insurance company for an appropriate settlement
- Preparing for trial should negotiations fail
- Representing you in court in pursuit of a compensation judgment, if necessary
Your personal injury attorney will also keep you apprised of the deadlines attached to your case and help you meet them. One of the most important deadlines is the statute of limitations on filing a personal injury lawsuit. Florida generally allows you two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a).
Should you not meet that deadline, the court may bar you from pursuing compensation. When working with our attorneys, who are experienced in personal injury law, you may rest easy knowing that we will stay on top of all the administrative affairs associated with your case.

The 1st attorney Michael was fantastic and extremely supportive of my wife and me being with us at our deposition. Shara, the Senior Paralegal was on top of everything from start to finish. Marc, my attorney at the end of the process was a straight shooter and I whole heartedly believe that he achieved the best outcome for me and my wife. . . The level of ethics and professionalism they demonstrated throughout the entire process was so comforting. I will always be grateful to the GED Law team for what they did for me.
