In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including truck accidents, is four years. This means you have four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit; failing to do so could result in losing your right to compensation.
Florida follows modified comparative fault rules, allowing you to recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. If you are deemed 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any compensation for your injuries.
Immediately after a truck accident, ensure everyone's safety and call 911 to report the crash. Gather evidence, take photos, and exchange information with the truck driver. It's also crucial to seek medical attention, as documentation of injuries is vital for your case.
Trucking companies are required to carry insurance to cover damages in case of an accident, with minimum liability coverage usually starting at $750,000 for larger trucks. Understanding the specifics of their policy can be complex, which is why having a lawyer to navigate these details can significantly help your claim.
In Florida, you may recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages. The extent of your compensation will depend on the specifics of your case and the severity of your injuries.
