Truck Accident Attorney in Tavares

Contacting an attorney is necessary if you have suffered serious injuries. In order to provide the best possible representation, do it as soon as possible after the accident. Note that these cases are time-sensitive, and the longer you take to involve a lawyer, the more complex seeking compensation for your injuries and losses becomes. 

We've handled cases involving all manners of injuries, including but not limited to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, internal organ damage, whiplash, soft tissue injuries, burns, and even fatalities.  

Evidence such as photos of the accident scene, vehicles, and injuries, copies of the police report, your medical records, witness statements, the truck driver's logbook and maintenance records can help substantiate your claim.  

Stepping out of the state's no-fault system (if your injuries meet the legal threshold) allows you to sue various parties, including the truck driver, the trucking company, the owner of the truck, manufacturers of faulty parts, maintenance companies, and even government entities if they played a role in the accident. 

Florida does not have a cap on economic and non-economic damages. However, the state caps punitive damages at three times the compensatory damages or $500,000, whichever is greater. The "no cap" rule means that it is up to you and your legal team to build a strong case to maximize your claim. 

Whether you want to pursue a settlement out of court or a verdict in court, having an attorney can help you get the most out of your claim. Remember, the case is considered closed once the settlement has been issued. This explains why you should get things right the very first time by hiring a competent attorney to represent you. That's where we come in as America's largest injury firm, with a record of winning more than $20 billion for the injured and fighting for the rights of over 500,000 clients.
