Civil Law Attorneys Standing By The Side Of Truck Accident Victims
Trucks are obviously much heavier and bigger than other vehicles on the road, which means they can potentially do more damage when involved in a crash. People who are involved in truck accidents may incur massive medical bills and be forced to take time off of work to recover from their injuries. Fortunately, victims have the right to take legal action to recover compensation from the negligent party responsible for the accident.

Experienced Attorney Discusses Common Truck Accident Injuries
Victims can sustain catastrophic injuries in a truck accident. Some of the most common injuries include fractured bones, internal bleeding, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and spinal cord damage. In addition to these physical injuries, victims can also suffer emotionally after a truck accident. This experience can be devastating, and many victims may develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result. It’s imperative that you work with an attorney who will help you recover the compensation that you deserve for your truck accident injuries.

The Difference Between Car Accidents And Truck Accidents
You may think that handling a truck accident claim is similar to handling a car accident claim, but that’s not the case. Car accident cases can be challenging, but a truck accident case is even more complex. Why? One reason is the number of liable parties. In a car accident, one driver is typically found to be at fault for the accident. However, many different parties can be liable in a truck accident case, including the driver, trucking company, parts manufacturer, and maintenance company.
The injuries are also more severe in a truck accident, so victims may be physically unable to handle the case without an attorney’s help. Severe injuries also tend to affect the victim for longer, which means the victim will need to rely on an attorney to value the claim by calculating future expenses and losses.
The investigation into a truck accident is also more complicated. Attorneys may need to hire accident reconstruction experts, issue subpoenas to the trucking company, and examine the truck that was involved in the collision. Conducting this type of extensive investigation without a truck accident attorney is near impossible.
How Much Do Truck Accident Attorneys Charge?
Many truck accident victims are under the impression that they cannot afford to pay for a personal injury attorney in the state of Florida. However, personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, so everyone will be able to afford these legal services. When an attorney works on a contingency fee basis, it means that the client will not be charged any legal fees unless the attorney is able to recover compensation in the case. To put it simply, your personal injury attorney will take a percentage of the compensation that you awarded through a settlement or verdict. If no compensation is awarded, then you will not owe the attorney anything.
