If you or a loved one has been injured in a Florida truck accident, an attorney may be able to help you file a lawsuit to recover compensation for your losses. The process of collecting damages from the party at-fault for your accident can be complicated; however, our attorneys have the experience needed to navigate these types of claims. Typically, these claims will be filed against the trucking company which owns the vehicle, not the driver himself, and will require the assistance of an attorney who has experience handling claims against larger-scale defendants. At Stathopoulos Law Group, the attorneys in our Florida offices have successfully handled personal injury claims against large trucking companies and insurance carriers, and are well-versed in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations which may affect your claim.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a truck accident, there are a number of parties, including the truck driver and their employer, who may be liable for your losses; however, it is not uncommon for these parties to deny fault or liability for a crash.

These companies have specific and detailed procedures on handling truck accident claims, which are designed to limit the recovery of those injured in the crash. They may record statements from witnesses, take photos of the accident scene, and examine the damaged vehicles to determine the extent of damage caused by the crash. Florida-state authorities may also launch their own investigation into the accident at this time, which may prove beneficial for your claim.
