Truck Accidents
According to the United States Department of Transportation, around 500,000 truck accidents occur on US roadways every year. Over 4,000 of those yearly accidents have traditionally occurred in Florida, with an average of 350 fatalities on a yearly basis.
Even when a truck accident isn’t fatal, a collision with a large commercial vehicle almost always results in catastrophic personal injury including:
· Brain damage
· Spinal cord damage
· Amputations
· Paralysis
· Internal injuries
These injuries will result in untold medical expenses while also prohibiting you from working and grossly interfering with your personal and family life. When you are injured by a truck driver, you have a right to seek compensation. The Fort Lauderdale truck accident attorneys at the Cochran Firm South Florida are fully prepared to fight for your rights, and get you the compensation you are due.
What You’re Up Against
When you are involved in a truck accident, you will be dealing with several parties and their insurance companies. Liability in a truck accident can lay with the driver, the company he works for, the company that loaded the truck, parts manufacturers, and even state and local municipalities. For every possible responsible party, there is a team of attorneys and insurance companies working to ensure you receive as little compensation as possible.
You need an experienced, aggressive team of attorneys on your side as well. Our attorneys will fight to ensure you are compensated for all of your damages, and see that you are not harassed or intimidated into accepting a penny less than you deserve.
If you have been injured in a truck accident in or around Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm, or Ft. Myers, Florida, please contact the truck accident attorneys at the Cochran Firm South Florida to schedule a free initial consultation today.
