Unlike accidents between two passenger vehicles, truck accidents can cause motorists more severe injuries and more extensive losses. A truck’s size and weight add to the impact a vehicle—and a motorist and passengers—experience in a collision.

At Andrew Pickett Law, PLLC, our Rockledge truck accident lawyers can file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit to help you recover your losses. If you lost a loved one in a truck accident, our wrongful death lawyers can also help you seek compensation and justice. You can call us now to begin your free case review.

Another Driver’s Negligence May Factor Into Your Truck Accident

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), driver errors that contributed to fatal truck accidents in 2019 included:

• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Failure to yield the right-of-way
• Improper lane usage
• Impaired driving

The FMCSA sets strict laws and regulations for truck drivers, including how long they’re able to drive in one period. When truck drivers fail to abide by these requirements, accidents can happen.

A Vehicular Malfunction May Have Caused Your Collision

Aside from driver error, issues with the truck itself may have contributed to your accident. For example, trucking companies have to conduct regular inspections and maintenance on their fleets. If a trucking company failed to do this (or failed to properly train its truck drivers), it may also bear liability for your losses. When we investigate your case, we will look for signs of negligence and other wrongdoing that caused your collision. If we find more than one party should pay for your losses, we can seek recovery from each of them.

$200,000 Verdict

"Our family is flat out impressed with the Andrew Pickett Law firm technical mastery, they never wavered with kind direction as our recovery prolonged during the COVID-19, and they delivered the maximum settlement possible."

We Will Prove Negligence Using Your Case’s Evidence

Various documents and information from the scene of the accident can support your claim for compensation. Our Rockledge truck accident attorneys may obtain:

• The official police report
• Black box data from the truck
• Traffic camera footage
• Eyewitness testimony
• The truck driver’s records and logbook
• The truck’s inspection and maintenance reports
• Photos of the vehicles’ damage and the accident scene

We leave no stone unturned when conducting our investigation. This way, we can get to the bottom of what happened and hold the liable parties accountable.

We Can Prove the Four Elements of Negligence

Once we have compiled enough supporting evidence, we will establish the four elements of negligence. To hold another party accountable, we will work to show:

• Another party, such as the truck driver or their employer, owed you a duty of care.
• This party breached their duty of care through some action or inaction.
• This negligent act or failure to act caused or contributed to your accident.
• You suffered injuries and losses as a result of the accident.

Insurers may try to blame you for what happened, hoping to minimize how much they owe you. If this happens, we can use evidence to counter these allegations. Still, if the insurer refuses to settle, we have no problem representing you at trial.

We Will Seek Compensation for Truck Accident Injuries and Losses

You deserve fair compensation for your injury-related losses. We can determine what you deserve by compiling your receipts and consulting with experts who can help us determine your future expenses.

In general, we can pursue awards for:

• Your current and future medical bills, including the cost of medical equipment and in-home modifications your injuries require
• Lost wages
• Reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering for your physical pain and emotional anguish
• Disfigurement and scarring
• Permanent disability
• Loss of quality of life

Wrongful Death-Related Damages

When truck accidents turn fatal, surviving family members can seek justice through a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. We can pursue awards that can help your family cope in the absence of your loved one.

We can pursue:

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Loss of inheritance
• Loss of consortium
• Your loved one’s medical bills
• Your loved one’s pain and suffering
• Your lost wages (if you took time off work to tend to your loved one before their passing)

You deserve to grieve with your family in peace, not hassle with the legal process. Our Rockledge truck accident lawyers can handle your wrongful death case so you can properly honor your loved one’s memory.

Rebecca Collura

If you are reading this you may have been in a car accident which I am sure has disrupted your life as it did mine. Dealing with your insurance company will be impossible and their goal is to give you the least amount of money possible regardless of your injuries. It is a slow process and you have to be patient. Andrew Pickett will work extremely hard to get you enough money to take care of past and potential future expenses. He is extremely good at what he does and his support staff are attentive and responsive as well. Personally I wouldn't be a number at one of those big firms that advertise on TV. Andrew was completely involved in my case and took great care of me. Stay strong, I pray the pain will lessen for you, and let Andrew fight for you!

Response from the owner: Thank you, Rebecca! What a thoughtful review. It was an honor to represent you.

After being part of a unique preparation process Andrew uses to prepare his clients for presenting their story to a jury, I attended one of his trials to watch the process unfold. I was in awee as I observed how he left no stone uncovered with the depositions, visual aids, videos from relevant physicians, (who shared in lay terms with the jury...how the crash had impacted the client medically and changed the entire trajectory of their life). Andrew is laser focused on helping a jury understand how a client's life has been altered and the losses they have incurred as a result.
