Truck Accident Lawyers Serving Palm Beach, Miami, and Surrounding Communities
Truck accidents can have devastating effects on the lives of both victims and the victims’ families. When auto accidents cause permanent injury or death, the loved ones of victims are left to deal with medical costs, workers’ compensation issues, and the emotional trauma associated with the event. Victims of such accidents need the guidance of knowledgeable truck accident attorneys; fortunately, the lawyers at the Palm Beach and Miami-area law firm of Downs Brill Whitehead have the intimate knowledge of trucking laws and regulations to successfully handle even the most complex cases.
Semi Truck Accidents vs. Car Accidents
When smaller vehicles are involved in accidents with large semi trucks and other commercial vehicles, the risk of injury is significantly greater. Large semi trucks are many times heavier than conventional vehicles, and the amount of force they carry in an accident is highly destructive. Also, because these vehicles are so large and heavy, they are not as easy to maneuver on the road, particularly during inclement weather conditions.
Semi Truck Driver Negligence
Because they are often paid by the load or by the mile, semi truck drivers have an incentive to deliver their loads as quickly as possible, making it tempting for them to drive longer hours, use drugs to stay awake, and take other unreasonable risks. Additionally, some trucking companies either allow or actively encourage their drivers to take these risks. Whatever the cause of a truck accident, our lawyers serving Miami, Palm Beach, and surrounding communities can determine liability and take aggressive legal action on behalf of victims and their families.
Damages in Truck Accident Cases
Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to compensation for losses and expenses related to their injuries, including:
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages
- Loss of future income
- Future medical costs related to the injury
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
