Question:

What is the value of my truck accident case?

Answer:

Another question we’re commonly asked is, “What is the value of my truck accident case in Florida?” Just like many things, there is no specific answer and no exact science to what the value of any specific case is. Each and every case is different, each and every individual is different, and the value of a case needs to take many things into account.

For many years, we represented one of the largest trucking companies in the United States. We use that experience and what we saw in those cases to give our clients some guidance as to what an insurance company or company may pay on their case, as well as what a jury may do in that case. Another thing that we look at is the experience we’ve had in representing injured people for many, using that experience in seeing what’s happened on other cases and what juries have done in trucking cases to give guidance.

The last thing we look at is what juries have done, not only in our cases but in other trucking cases here in Florida with similar injuries. In this way, we can give our clients a range and some guidance as to what we believe their case is worth so that they can make a decision whether or not they want to settle their case or would like us to present their case to a jury.If you or a loved one has been injured due to a truck driver’s negligence, please contact us as we’d be happy to help you.

One of the biggest mistakes that we see victims of truck accidents make is talking to the insurance company about the accident. The insurance company wants to save themselves money, which means they want to avoid responsibility for the damages the collision caused you. You will receive a phone call from them shortly after your accident where they’re going to be looking to get a recorded statement from you. You do not legally have to give them a recorded statement.  They will only use your words against you. They also have extensive training on questioning you in a way that would force you to implicate yourself. It is best to have your Orlando truck accident lawyers take over communication with the insurance company so that you are protected.
