Common Truck Accident Causes
Truck crashes are often caused by negligent truck drivers who are driving drowsy, distracted, or drunk due to long hours spent trekking across the state or the country. Sometimes, the trucking companies are to blame for imposing unreasonable pressure and deadlines on drivers, and sometimes, both the trucking company and the truck driver are at fault! We can determine who is liable and ensure that they are held accountable.
Cost Of Truck Accident Injuries
Trucks are massive vehicles – sometimes weighing as much as a few tons, and usually many times bigger than other vehicles (like motorcycles and passenger cars) on the road. If you are injured in a truck accident, your injuries could be catastrophic, and consequently, your medical bills may be enormous. You may have to pay for things related to:
-
- Ambulatory transport
- Emergency room care
- Intensive unit care
- Hospitalization
- Rehabilitation
- Surgeries
- Imaging tests (MRIs, X-rays, CT scans)
- Blood transfusions
- Casting
- Medications (both prescription and over the counter)
- Physical therapy
- Chiropractic care
- Mental health counseling (for the trauma associated with the crash)
- Medical devices (crutches, braces, wheelchair, etc.)
- And more.
You may have to take weeks or months off before you are physically able to return to work, missing out on regular pay, overtime pay, or having to use up paid sick time or vacation time.
There’s also a cost that you won’t get a bill for, but that is just as expensive – the cost of your pain, the cost of your sleep, the cost of your enjoyment. However, when you work with our Davenport truck accident injury lawyers, we can pursue damages for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our goal is to achieve a settlement that reflects the full value of your injuries.
The Role Of Your PIP Coverage
Florida is a no-fault state, meaning that every driver is required to carry PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in the event of an accident that results in injuries. When you are injured, you get benefits from your PIP first before you can take legal action. However, PIP only covers up to 80% of approved emergency medical expenses, and only up to $2,500 of nonemergent medical expenses; this may still leave you with a hefty sum you are responsible for paying!
Why You Need Our Attorneys On Your Side
Making a claim with the truck driver’s insurance company, or against the trucking company, can be a complicated and overwhelming undertaking. There’s a lot of paperwork, waiting on the phones, and back and forth with insurance representatives, and ultimately, you are unlikely to get very far on your own. Insurance companies lose money when they pay out claims to injured victims, so they will do everything possible to devalue or undervalue your claim. You need top-notch legal representation so they will be forced to take you seriously!
