Additional Compensation, Big Rig Truck Hits A Car

When a truck driver of the big rig loses control and causes an accident which injures you, you can seek recovery from that driver and from his or her employer, or the person, or company owning the vehicle itself. Sometimes the driver himself or herself may not have direct insurance coverage and you actually obtain the recovery through the employer or the owner of the vehicle.

Recovery From An Accident

If you’ve been injured in an accident in the state of Florida, you can recover or may be able to recover certain items relevant to damages. They’re generally broken down into two categories which are economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages include things such as your past and future medical bills, your past lost wages, your future lost or diminished earning capacity, and any out-of-pocket expenses you might have had, which would include things such as property damage to your car. The second category is non-economic damages and that includes things such as inconvenience, physical pain, mental anguish, and lost or diminished capacity for the enjoyment of life

Factors To Valuing A Personal Injury

Determining what your personal injury case is worth is probably the most difficult task that any attorney has in the course of your case because there’s no easy answer, and the answer to the question often varies greatly from the beginning of the case to the end. It sometimes changes from time to time with additional information that’s obtained through the discovery process. The value of your case depends on a number of factors, including the nature of the accident, the nature and severity of your injuries or damages, and any available insurance coverage that applies to the case. The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should maintain regular contact with your attorney who can answer candidly his or her assessment regarding the value of the case, which helps you decide at every step of the way whether it makes sense to settle your case with the other side, or to continue pursuing your case towards trial.

Deadlines To Filing A Claim

There are very critical deadlines when it comes to filing suit after a big truck accident. In a death case, the statute of limitations runs two years from date of death. If it is a personal injury case in Florida, generally the statute is four years. However, there are certain time limits which may apply, which are different from that. For example, if it happens to be a big rig truck owned by the state of Florida or a governmental agency, there are certain notice requirements which have a three-year deadline, and it requires a totally different set of steps that need to be taken. The most important thing is you must have an attorney evaluate these deadlines.
