Truck Accident Compensation in Miami, Florida

A Miami truck accident could entitle you to various forms of compensation. Some types of compensation cover monetary losses associated with the accident, such as:

• Property damage, especially the cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle
• Medical expenses, including any bills accrued for your medical care
• Loss of wages, or the salary and job benefits that you cannot earn until your injuries have healed enough for you to go back to work
• Loss of earning capacity, or the income you expect to lose in the future due to chronic injury symptoms

Other types of compensation are designed to cover physical and emotional injuries, such as:

• Pain and suffering, or the physical or emotional toll the accident has taken on you
• Impaired quality of life, especially if you can no longer perform the same activities or enjoy the same lifestyle you did before
• Disability, which can include the loss of any physical and/or intellectual capabilities you had prior to the accident
• Loss of consortium, particularly negative changes in your relationship with close relatives

Which types of compensation do you qualify for? You may already have a good idea of the answer, but only a personal injury attorney from our firm can tell you for sure.

Let our FedEx truck accident lawyers in Miami, FL do all the hard work for you, including:

• Determining which damages you qualify to collect

Getting Justice After a FedEx Truck Accident

Previously, Florida residents had two years to file a personal injury accident case. However, new law under Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a) now gives you just two years to begin a lawsuit.

The team at Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers is well-acquainted with all laws, old and new, that could affect your ability to seek compensation. The sooner you make an appointment with us, the more time we have to:

• Investigate your accident and collect enough evidence to prove that the liable party owes you damages
• Decide the best way to handle your case (for instance, some cases are settled in pretrial negotiations, while others must go to court)
• Explain how the law works and what your legal options are, so we can help you make important decisions about your case’s future
• Fill out paperwork, respond to correspondence from other parties, and manage all other clerical tasks so you do not have to
• Speak to the liable party and their representatives on your behalf, so they get no chance to take advantage of you or skew your words in their favor

You can expect to work directly with our firm’s partners throughout your case. We strive to provide the most responsive, thoughtful service we can by:

• Giving you the opportunity to ask as many questions as you need at every phase of your lawsuit
• Visiting you in the hospital if you have not recovered enough to come to our office yet
• Offering free case evaluations to everyone who calls our office
• Offering sensitive, professional representation in your hour of need

Who to Sue After a Miami FedEx Truck Accident

If you were hit by a FedEx truck, there might be more parties involved than in a typical personal injury case. For example, you could find yourself dealing with the following:

• The truck driver
• FedEx
• The driver’s lawyer(s)
• FedEx’s lawyer(s)
• The driver’s insurance company
• Fed Ex’s insurance company

Having to manage so many parties could not only prolong your case, but it could also make it harder to determine who you should sue. Where does the driver’s responsibility end and FedEx’s begin? If both parties share responsibility, can you file suit against them both?

Our Miami FedEx truck accident lawyers can help you address questions like these and more. We can make sure that you hold the correct parties accountable—and that you ask them for an amount of financial compensation that adequately reflects the damage they caused through their carelessness.
