A collision with a large truck can leave you with injuries that change your life, substantial and long-lasting medical expenses, and a damaged or completely destroyed vehicle. If you or someone you love was involved in a truck accident, our team at GED Lawyers can help you.
Our Parkland truck accident lawyer will identify the appropriate at-fault party, collect evidence that documents your right to compensation, and handle communication with their insurance company. Let us handle the hard work and legalities of recovering compensation. We will advocate for you throughout your case.
Our Law Firm Will Help You Fight for Compensation After a Truck Accident
Recovering the right amount of compensation after a truck accident is important. You need money to pay your bills, especially if your injuries prevent you from working. Our legal team will explain how important it is to take time to thoroughly assess your case rather than accepting a speedy settlement offer.
After carefully assessing your recoverable damages, our truck accident lawyer can create a demand letter that includes:
- Economic damages: These damages include all your medical bills, lost income, and loss of future earning capacity. Economic damages also include the costs of repairing or replacing your damaged car.
- Non-economic damages: You could recover compensation for physical disability, impairment, disfiguring injuries, and pain and suffering. Non-economic damages also include mental and emotional anguish and loss of enjoyment of life.
If your family is entitled to wrongful death damages, your lawyer will include the decedent’s funeral and burial expenses, loss of their income, and loss of their domestic contributions to your family. They can also include loss of consortium, society, guidance, and companionship in your demand for financial recovery.

How Florida’s Statute of Limitations Affects Your Parkland Truck Accident Case
Florida Statutes § 95.11 generally entitles you to two years to file your lawsuit. While this may seem like a long time, it may be in your best interest to get started on your case as soon as you can.
While meeting the filing deadline is a mandatory part of your case, it is also a complicated one, since Florida Statutes § 95.051 can extend or toll the filing deadline. Our truck accident attorney will explain how the statute of limitations is interpreted in your case and work hard to meet the appropriate filing deadline.
How Our Truck Accident Attorney Builds Your Case in Parkland
At GED Lawyers, our Parkland truck accident lawyer will collect evidence and interview witnesses to establish the liable party’s negligence. Proving negligence means satisfying the following four elements:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
Proving these elements is important in truck accident cases since there could be more than one at-fault party. Our investigation will identify all liable parties, document their liability, and pursue damages accordingly.
Our Investigation Will Uncover All Potentially Liable Parties
You might be entitled to compensation from the driver involved in your truck accident case if they are an owner/operator or their actions directly caused the collision. Truck driver behaviors that can lead to accidents include:
- Drug or alcohol intoxication
- Distracted driving
- Driver fatigue
- Hours-of-service violations
The trucking company could also be liable if they failed to properly train or license their driver. Other potentially liable parties include:
- The truck’s manufacturer
- The manufacturer of its parts and components
- The repair or maintenance facility responsible for the truck’s condition at the time of the accident
The cargo loading facility could also bear liability if improperly loaded, balanced, or secured cargo contributed to the collision. Our legal team will explore every potentially liable party to understand the accident’s causes and contributing factors.
Evidence We Collect To Steer Your Case Toward a Fair Settlement
Our law firm will start by listening to your version of the events that led to the accident. To prove the accident’s cause and your right to compensation, we collect:
- The accident report filed by responding officers
- Your medical records and bills
- Salary history records
- Accident scene photos
- Pictures of your injuries
- Eyewitness statements
- Expert witness statements
- The truck’s maintenance records
Your lawyer will also collect evidence you might find difficult to obtain on your own, including the driver’s training and licensing records and logbooks.
