How Our Truck Accident Lawyer Can Help You

• Make sure that PIP coverage pays for all medical expenses and wage loss as required by Florida law
• Locate all insurance coverage from the at-fault driver and his employer
• Make a claim with the insurer of the owner of the vehicle and the owner of the trailer

Often we are simply demanding the insurance companies do what they are supposed to do. As in car wrecks, an injured person's personal injury protection (PIP) must pay for medical expenses and loss of income up to a minimum of $10,000. Part of the focus at TEN-LAW works to ensure that the PIP coverage claim is properly made and settled on behalf of our clients.

We may also be able to recover for an injured person's pain and suffering and medical expense and wage loss over $10,000 from multiple insurance companies, including the following:

• Insurance company for the at-fault driver of the truck
• The truck driver's employer
• The owner of the tractor
• The owner of the trailer

Many big rig drivers work for companies that carry coverage. The tractors that they operate are owned and insured by another party. Finally, they may be pulling a trailer that has a separate owner and insurer.

The Statistics Are Frightening

There are more than a half a million trucking accidents per year in the United States, according to federal government statistics. Florida has the third highest rate in the nation, with more than 3300 crashes in the most recent year for which there are statistics. It may surprise you, but 3 out of 4 occurred on weekends and most of them happened during the day.

The Injured May Be Severe

Our truck accident lawyer sees the extent of the damage caused when an 18-wheeler or other larger vehicle collides with a smaller one, such as a car. The harm may take the form of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) which often leaves the injured victim with such diminished mental abilities that he or she can no longer work or function independently in society. Or they may take the form of fractures of multiple body parts or nerve damage to the person's spine that has the same effect. Call us for a free consultation about what happened to you--or call on behalf of a loved one. In some instances, a wrongful death claim may be appropriate. More than 5000 people are killed every year in the U.S. from these kinds of crashes.
