Why Hire Your West Palm Beach Truck Crash Attorney From GED Lawyers?

Once you hire our firm, you can focus your full attention on receiving medical care and spending time with your family. In the meantime, we handle every detail of your case, including:
- Gathering all case-related evidence, such as the truck’s black box data, the trucker’s logbooks, and eyewitness testimony
- Documenting your damages from the truck accident
- Filling out and submitting all paperwork and evidence to all relevant parties
- Leading settlement negotiations (and handling all other case-related communications)
- Holding preparatory mock trials and representing you in the courtroom (if we go to trial)

Financial Compensation Our West Palm Beach Truck Accident Lawyers Can Pursue on Your Behalf
Truck accident victims should not have to take a second job, dip into their savings, or borrow money to make ends meet. The liable party should pay for your losses.
Unfortunately, liable parties—especially large and powerful ones, like trucking companies—and the insurance companies that represent them often resist paying a fair settlement. Our attorneys in West Palm Beach can confront these parties and fight for all of the types of compensation you deserve, which could include:
- Medical costs, which may come from emergency medical care, medical imaging scans, hospitalization, medications, specialist visits, rehabilitation, and all other medical services related to your accident
- Lost income, which may also include diminished earning power, lost bonuses, missed chances for promotions, and other professional damages
- Physical pain and psychological suffering, along with other non-economic damages, such as emotional distress, mental anguish, sleep problems, lost quality of life, depression, anxiety, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage expenses, which can include the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle, securing temporary transportation, and replacing damaGED items, like prescription glasses or electronic devices
How much you can recover for a truck accident depends greatly on the severity of your injuries. GED Lawyers understands how much your family is depending on this money and can work diligently to:
- Create a complete list of your losses
- Pursue fair compensation that covers all past, present, and future losses
- Determine if and when the insurance company offers an appropriate settlement
Our Wrongful Death Lawyers Offer Their Insights and Support
Please accept our team’s condolences if you have lost a loved one to a fatal truck accident. A West Palm Beach wrongful death lawyer from our firm can support you by fighting for a settlement or verdict covering:
- The decedent’s medical costs
- Funeral and burial expenses (or cremation costs)
- Loss of the decedent’s companionship, support, and guidance
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of the decedent’s income, household services, and other forms of economic support
- Your pain and suffering (and any pain and suffering the decedent experienced before passing away)
- Any other economic or non-economic damages affecting you or your loved ones
Under Florida Statutes § 768.21, the types of compensation you can recover in a wrongful death legal action depend on your relationship to the decedent. It can be difficult to concentrate on such complex legal matters while you are grieving for a loved one, which is why our attorneys in West Palm Beach are here to assist.
We can review the circumstances of your loved one’s passing and build a case that reflects your family’s need for fair compensation. If you have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit, GED Lawyers can lead your case with professionalism and urgency, giving you the time and space you need to heal.
Who Is Responsible for Your West Palm Beach Crash?
This is one of the first and most important questions our West Palm Beach truck injury attorneys have to answer. Without this information, you cannot know who owes you damages and who to sue for your losses.
Some cases are straightforward and the liable party’s identity is obvious. For instance, if a truck driver hits a car after turning left without signaling, the driver clearly failed to obey traffic laws, so they (and, potentially, their employer) are at fault and owe you damages.
However, there are many cases that are more complex than this because of an unclear sequence of events or multiple liable parties. Consider the following examples:
- Say that the truck driver forgot to signal because they were exhausted after not being provided with adequate rest breaks, as defined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Uncovering this fact would require our legal representatives to investigate the trucking company.
- Say that, despite the truck driver’s negligence, you still could have avoided a collision if only your car’s brakes had worked properly. In this case, our legal team can potentially sue the driver, the trucking company, and the manufacturer of your faulty brakes, since all three parties contributed to your crash.
- Rarely, the trucking company is not responsible at all. This might be the case if the accident occurred because of a road hazard, such as a broken traffic light. We can help you figure out which government agency was responsible for fixing the hazard and hold them accountable for your injuries.
The accident injury attorneys at GED Lawyers understand how intimidating it can be to take on any liable party, let alone multiple parties who will not hesitate to use their vast resources against you.
By letting our law firm manage your case, you put your financial future in the hands of a law firm with a history of winning for our clients. We will keep you updated as we do everything in our power to get the money you need to build a new life.
Deadlines for Filing a Truck Accident Lawsuit
You have a limited time to act. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you have two years to file your lawsuit. This statute applies to most wrongful death and personal injury claims.
Once you miss this deadline, you no longer have the right to seek compensation for a commercial truck accident, no matter how strong your evidence is or how badly you need the money. The best way to ensure you meet this deadline is by:
- Seeking medical care immediately so you can prevent unnecessary pain and get an accurate diagnosis of your injuries
- Getting in touch with our lawyers in West Palm Beach as soon as your first course of treatment is complete
- Telling us everything you know about the accident: some circumstances may shorten or lengthen the deadline we must work under, so it is important that we know exactly what kind of case we are dealing with
At GED Lawyers, we know how easy it is for truck accident victims to lose track of time or make innocent mistakes that put their cases at risk. Let us start on your claim or lawsuit right away so you have one less thing to worry about as you recover.
