South Florida Truck Accident Claim? Let Andrew Winston Fight for You

 

Truck Accident Lawyer in Fort Lauderdale

 

If you live and work in Fort Lauderdale, or surrounding areas, chances are high that you are sharing the road with tractor trailers and other large trucks on a regular basis. These large vehicles are instrumental in picking up and delivering commercial goods in our area, but they also pose certain risks to other drivers. Multi-vehicle car accidents are bad enough, but when a commercial truck collides with a smaller passenger vehicle, the crash can be devastating or even fatal for the people in the car.

 

When it comes to truck accident injuries, the medical bills alone can be staggering. On top of that, many accident victims suffer a temporary or permanent disability that prevents them from returning to work and making the money they need to get by. And the pain and suffering associated with being injured or losing a loved one in a truck accident comes with its own intangible but significant cost.

 

If you and your family are struggling through the aftermath of a truck accident, contact the Law Office of Andrew Winston as soon as possible. Our Florida law firm specializes in helping accident victims recover the compensation they need and deserve, whether it is through a settlement or through a verdict that we obtain by going to trial. Rest assured that we have the experience and expertise to pursue any compensation that you may be due.

 

How a Truck Accident Differs from Other Motor Vehicle Accidents

 

Truck accidents involve a whole host of variables that do not necessarily pertain to other types of accident cases. When you attempt to go up against a trucking company, you will most likely find that:

 

  • The trucking company has their own experienced legal team. Trucking companies are first and foremost businesses, which means that they are more concerned with protecting their own bottom line than doing the right thing and paying you for your injuries. Because of this, they will most likely retain a legal team that has ample experience with truck accident cases and may have even defended the trucking company before. You will need your own experienced truck accident attorney to go up against this legal team.
  • The cause of the accident may not be immediately apparent. Truck accidents are complicated because there are so many variables and potential accident causes. In many cases, the truck driver may be to blame for being distracted, intoxicated, or too sleep-deprived to safely drive. However, some cases also involve a mechanical error, which could mean that either the manufacturer produced a defective part or the trucking company was negligent in maintaining the vehicle. In other cases, the crew responsible for loading cargo may have overloaded the truck, causing the driver to lose control and crash. Your attorney at the Law Office of Andrew Winston will look carefully at the details of your case to determine the accident’s root cause.
  • Your case may involve statewide and federal trucking regulations. Although your accident may have taken place in Florida, your case will most likely involve not just local ordinances, but federal trucking laws. You will need to have a Florida injury attorney on your side who understands the legal ramifications of trucking regulations and how they apply to your case.
  • The compensation at stake may be larger. As we mentioned above, injuries incurred in truck accidents tend to be even more serious than injuries in car accidents due to the impact of the large vehicle. Common injuries include burns, lacerations, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more. If you suffered a serious injury in a truck accident, you may be entitled to a large settlement.

The attorneys at the Law Office of Andrew Winston have helped many other clients in truck accident cases and are prepared to help you navigate this potentially convoluted and complex area of personal injury law. We will diligently investigate your case from every angle, which may involve going over shipping records, maintenance reports, and truck driver laws to determine if any third party bears responsibility for your injuries.

 

Once we have ascertained responsibility, we will work assiduously to hold those who caused your accident accountable for the pain and suffering that you have unnecessarily had to endure.

 

At the Law Office of Andrew Winston, we know that there is a lot at stake when you file a truck accident claim, and we also know that you are already under a great deal of stress as you work to recover from your injuries and move forward with your life. We want you to be able to focus on healing while we research every aspect of your case in order to build the strongest case possible.

You can depend on your personal injury attorney not just to defend your rights in court, but to advocate on your behalf with any parties involved in the accident, including medical billing offices, employers, and insurance examiners.

If you or a family member has been injured by a negligent truck driver in Florida, you should not have to deal with the financial burden of your medical expenses on top of everything else.
