Jackknife accidents can occur for various causes, from poor weather conditions to machinery malfunctions. Regardless of how your accident happened, you’re likely facing costly medical expenses, severe pain, and missed paychecks. You shouldn’t be responsible for these costs when you didn’t cause your accident. Fortunately, our Florida jackknife accident lawyer can fight for the financial compensation you deserve.
You may be able to file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation. Our Florida truck accident attorney will manage your case from start to finish, giving you time to rest and recover. When you’re ready to begin your case, contact Ged Lawyers for a free initial consultation.
What Damages Can Our Truck Accident Lawyers Seek for Florida Crash Victims?
In Florida, you can recover several economic and non-economic damages. When our legal team manages your case, we aim to recover compensation to pay for all your current and future accident-related losses. Some of the types of damages you might recover compensation for include:
- Medical expenses: Any costs you incurred because of the jackknife collision may be recoverable. You can demand payment for your hospital bills, emergency transport, prescription medications, medical imaging, and doctor’s appointments.
- Physical pain and suffering: Any injury you sustain may leave you in significant pain. Though compensation can’t ease your discomfort, it can help ensure you’re financially stable until you recover.
- Lost income: If you’re facing a spinal cord injury, broken bones, or a traumatic brain injury (TBI), you probably won’t be able to work for a while. Any income you lost because of your accident is recoverable.
- Reduced earning capacity: Some accident victims never return to their pre-accident jobs. If this applies to your case, we can seek compensation to make up for the reduction in your earning ability.
- Mental anguish: Many accident victims suffer from accident-related anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Our truck accident lawyers will also assess your case to determine if you qualify for other recoverable damages.
