Truck Accident Attorney in Pensacola

It's wise to seek legal counsel even if the insurance company wants to settle. An experienced attorney can ensure the settlement offer is fair. That's because, more than half of the time, the initial offer from the insurance company is usually not enough to cover the full extent of your losses.

In many cases, you can still file a claim if you're partly at fault. The legal concept of pure comparative negligence, widely applied in Pensacola and throughout Florida, allows you to seek compensation, but the amount may be reduced based on your level of fault.

You should seek legal counsel as soon as possible after a truck accident. This allows your attorney to gather evidence, interview witnesses, consult experts, and do everything else it takes to protect your rights from the beginning. It also ensures that you do not miss any key deadlines that could jeopardize your path to recovery.

Each case is different, and the same applies to the kind of evidence required to win. That said, evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, medical records, and possibly data from the truck's black box can help substantiate your claim. After reviewing your case and determining its validity, we'll help establish the kind of evidence you'll need.

The decision to settle or go to court depends on your specific case and whether or not the other party is willing to cooperate. An attorney can help you evaluate the pros and cons of each option and guide you in making an informed decision. That said, rest assured that we'll go to court if the other party refuses to settle a valid claim.
