Who Pays for a Delivery Truck Accident in Florida?

As a victim of a delivery truck accident (such as a FedEx or UPS truck), you should not have to pay anything at all. Ideally, insurance will pay for the repair or replacement of your vehicle, as well as any medical expenses or lost wages you incur. This compensation could come from your own insurer or the at-fault party’s insurer, depending on the circumstances of your case.

However, insurance typically does not cover all of a claimant’s damages, such as pain and suffering or other intangible damages. You may have to pursue these damages through a personal injury lawsuit instead. Your suit could be against the trucking company, the driver, or both. Our truck accident lawyers can discuss your options with you.

What Damages Can I Get After a Miami Delivery Truck Accident?

Some of the types of damages you may be able to recover through an insurance claim or lawsuit include:

• Medical bills and related expenses
• Vehicle repair or replacement
• Other property damage
• Lost income
• Lost earning potential if you can no longer work in the same position (or return to work at all)
• Physical pain
• Mental or emotional suffering
• Disability
• Scarring or disfigurement
• Other financial and non-financial losses

Why Should I Hire an Attorney After a Delivery Truck Accident?

With one of our Miami delivery truck accident lawyers by your side, you can focus on your health and your family—and leave all your legal concerns to us.

Your attorney can take on everything involved in building your case and recovering compensation, including:

• Identifying your damages: Your lawyer can identify both tangible and intangible damages that can be very difficult for a claimant to identify on their own.
• Calculating the total value of your damages: To claim these damages for you, your lawyer will use proven valuation methods to determine how much they are worth.
• Documenting your damages: Your lawyer can show the insurance company (or judge and jury) proof of your damages, including bills, receipts, and other documentation. Your lawyer may also consult expert witnesses, such as medical experts.
• Identifying the liable party: Your lawyer can gather evidence (such as data from the truck’s black box) to indicate if the liable party is the trucking company, the driver, or another party. Some truck accident cases have multiple liable parties.
• Proving that party’s liability: Using the available evidence, your lawyer must show each of the four legal elements of negligence in your case (duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and compensable damages).
• Negotiating for certain damages: Your lawyer may be able to negotiate for certain damages that insurers typically don’t cover, such as pain and suffering.
• Suing the liable party: If necessary, your lawyer can file a lawsuit and resolve your case before a judge and jury.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Truck Accidents in Florida?

Florida law recently reduced the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit from four years to two years from the date of the accident, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a). To keep your legal options open, it is best to speak with our team as quickly as possible.
