When truck accident claims get complex in Florida

On Behalf of Wieland & DeLattre | Jan 20, 2023 | Trucking Accidents |

If you are involved in a truck accident, filing a claim can be daunting. Many factors go into these claims, and they can be very complex.

Role of multiple parties

Usually, multiple parties are involved in truck accidents, which means that the legal proceedings can be quite complex as there may be differences of opinion between the parties, or they might hold conflicting information. For instance, the driver may claim that they were not at fault, while the trucking company claims negligence on the driver’s part.

Evidence

When filing a truck accident claim, it is important to have both eyewitness testimony and photographic evidence of how the accident occurred. This can be difficult to obtain due to the size and speed of trucks making it hard for witnesses to recall what happened accurately. Additionally, the driver and truck company may try to cover up evidence that could potentially show their negligence.

Regulations

In addition to the legal aspects of filing a claim, there are also federal and state regulations that must be taken into consideration when dealing with truck accidents. These regulations can be extremely complicated, and there may be disputes over who is liable due to the different regulations that apply in each state.

Insurance companies

The insurance company may dispute the facts or use legal loopholes to try and reduce their financial liability for the accident. One of the most common ways they do this is by attempting to limit the amount of damages they must pay out.

Injured parties

The injuries sustained in truck accidents can be serious, and they can range from minor scrapes and bruises to significant head trauma and paralysis. Because of this, the medical bills associated with these injuries can be quite high, and the injured party may need to seek compensation for these expenses.

There are several things you can do to increase your chances of receiving a fair settlement for your claim. Gather all relevant evidence, including photographs and eyewitness testimony, to strengthen your case. Be sure to thoroughly review the applicable regulations to know what rights you have in the matter. Finally, be prepared to negotiate with the insurance company if they are trying to limit their liability.
