Krista Roberson, Esq.

Attorney Krista Roberson Explains 2 Reasons Why You Need A Personal Injury Lawyer After An Auto Accident

We often get asked, “Why do I even need a lawyer after a car crash?”

And there are two reasons for this:

  1. Insurance companies simply will not treat you fairly unless you’re represented by counsel. They may undervalue your claim, and they may not even tell you how much money is available for your case.
  2. We will make it easy for you. You don’t have to collect your bills or your medical records. We will do all of that, and then we will compile it all together in a demand package and present it to the insurance company.

And then we negotiate for you.

What Makes Truck Accident Cases Unique?

Truck accidents differ significantly from regular car accidents and present unique challenges in personal injury law.At Edge Law we understand these differences, and are here to guide you through your accident claim.

Some of the factors we must consider when representing you in your truck accident case include:

Truck Accident Lawyers Wesley Chapel FL - Edge Law Serving Tampa Bay
  • Complexity of Liability:
    Determining liability in truck accidents is more complex than in car accidents. In a typical car accident, liability usually lies with one of the drivers. However, truck accident cases may involve multiple parties such as the truck driver, the trucking company, the truck manufacturer, cargo loaders and maintenance providers. Determining who is at fault requires thorough evaluation and a deep understanding of the relationships and responsibilities among these parties. Here at Edge Law, we have the knowledge and experience to do so.
  • Specific Evidence Collection:
    Truck accident cases require specific types of evidence that are not typically needed in car accident cases, such as Electronic Logging Device (ELD) data, GPS tracking information, truck maintenance records, and driver qualification files. At Edge Law we have the knowledge and resources needed to gather and interpret this evidence.
  • Cargo Issues:
    Improperly loaded or secured cargo can lead to accidents. Overloaded trucks or shifting cargo can cause drivers to lose control. Identifying cargo-related issues is crucial in some truck accident cases. At Edge Law, we know how to put the pieces together to prepare your case.
  • Federal Regulations:
    Truck drivers and trucking companies are subject to stringent federal regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These regulations cover aspects such as hours of service rules, maintenance standards, drug and alcohol testing and cargo securement. Violations of these regulations can be pivotal in establishing liability in a truck accident case. Edge Law attorneys are experienced in this field, and can assist you.
  • Higher Insurance Policy Limits:
    Trucking companies generally carry higher insurance policy limits due to the potential for greater damage. While this means there is more potential compensation available, it also means that insurance companies will vigorously defend against claims to minimize payouts. Our aggressive attorneys know exactly how to handle this push back so you can rest assured that you will get the compensation you deserve.
  • More Severe Injuries:
    Due to the size and weight of trucks, accidents involving them tend to result in more severe injuries and fatalities compared to regular car accidents. Common injuries may include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries. The higher stakes involved in these cases necessitate our experienced legal representation to help get fair compensation for victims.

Severity of Injuries

More Complex Settlement Process

Truck accidents often result in severe injuries due to the high speeds and forces involved. These injuries can range from whiplash and fractures to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage, impacting victims’ lives long-term. This can lead to more complex and higher settlements to compensate for your trauma.

Multiple Parties Involved

Determining Fault Is More Complex

Truck accidents can involve multiple vehicles and parties, each potentially having different levels of responsibility. Determining liability in complex multi-vehicle accidents requires thorough evaluation and legal experience. Responsible parties extend beyond just the drivers, the trucking company, loading company and multiple other entities may be involved in determining fault.

Insurance Coverage Issues

More Complex Policies

Truck insurance policies vary widely, and understanding the coverage available and applicable can be complex. Commercial insurance companies may have higher coverage limits but may also have more complicated policies. It’s our job at Edge Law to dive deeper into their policies to seek justice for you.

Long-Term Medical Needs

Seeking An Accurate Settlement For You
