TRUCK ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
Semi-Tractor Trailer, Tanker Truck & Logging Truck Accidents in North Florida
Jacksonville truck accident lawyers know the dangers posed by heavy commercial traffic on North Florida highways. With Jacksonville located at the intersection of I-10 and I-95—two major truck routes—drivers face serious risks from semi-trucks, logging trucks, and other commercial vehicles. Wet weather and high tourist traffic only increase the chances of devastating truck accidents.
Proving Liability in a Truck Accident Case
Our Jacksonville truck accident lawyers have the experience to investigate and prove liability against all responsible parties—whether it’s the truck driver, their employer, the truck or trailer owner, or a maintenance provider. We know how to build strong cases and hold multiple defendants accountable in complex truck accident claims.
Our familiarity with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations enables us to get to the bottom of the most important questions relating to liability in a truck accident case:
- Did the driver get sufficient sleep and time away from the road?
- Was the driver properly trained and licensed?
- Was the vehicle properly inspected and maintained?
- Was the trailer oversize or overweight?
- Does the freight company have a history of safety violations?
Just as we will make a thorough analysis of the circumstances relating to the liability of one or more defendants, we also leave nothing to chance in documenting and presenting your losses. We work with medical experts to develop and offer evidence of your condition, prognosis, and need for future treatment. We consult with life care plan experts to identify the extent and probable duration of your reliance on home assistance, adaptive technology, and disability from work.
Types of Damages You Can Recover
After a serious truck accident, you may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages, as well as punitive damages in rare cases. Economic damages include compensation for current and future medical costs, lost wages, loss of your earning capacity, and compensation for ongoing treatment for permanent disability or impairment. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, may be awarded for emotional and physical pain and suffering, distress, disfigurement, loss of consortium, and the inability to enjoy your life as you once did.
What to Do After a Truck Accident in Florida
After an accident, it is essential you contact law enforcement as soon as possible. They can begin their investigation and create a report about the conditions of the accident. This report will be used in your claim for damages. If it is safe to do so, also document the scene yourself, including taking pictures of the damage to your vehicle; debris left on the road; and weather, traffic, and road conditions. Write everything down, as memories may fade, especially if you have sustained a head injury.
You should also seek medical attention, even if you do not feel hurt. Never assume you are simply okay because you do not immediately feel the effects of an accident, as often symptoms may appear days later.
Do not forget to get the truck driver’s information. This includes:
- Their name and phone number
- Their driver’s license number
- The name of their insurance carrier and the trucking company’s insurance carrier
- The US DOT serial number
- Information on the Electronic Logging Device (ELD), if available
- Information on the parent company and/or the person who owns the truck itself
After a truck accident, gather witness contact info to support your claim. Report the crash to your insurer, but don’t admit fault or accept a quick settlement. Speak with our Jacksonville truck accident lawyers first—we’ll protect your rights and fight for full compensation.
