Truck Accident Attorney in Fort Myers
A truck accident can change your life in ways you never knew possible. Depending on its severity, you may need long-term care, support with some of your day-to-day bills, and even regular visits to the doctor. All these expenses should not come out of your pocket. Trucks are usually heavily insured against such accidents, so you may be able to receive compensation if you get injured or lose a loved one due to the negligence of a truck driver or trucking company. That said, this compensation isn't usually readily available for you to claim. It involves a lot of legal skirmishes, something only an experienced and well-equipped truck accident attorney in Fort Myers can handle. Suppose that's the kind of help you need. Contact us now. We might be able to represent you.

What Factors Should I Consider When Selecting a Truck Accident Attorney in Fort Myers?
Factors such as the attorney's experience in handling truck accident cases, their track record of successful settlements or verdicts, their knowledge of local trucking laws and regulations in Fort Myers, and the legal resources at their disposal can tell you everything you need to know about the attorney's suitability to handle your case.
What Are the First Steps I Should Take After a Truck Accident in Fort Myers?
Your safety should be your top priority amid the pain and confusion. If you've suffered serious injuries, call 911 immediately and request medical attention. If your injuries are not visible or you're not in pain, you should still get checked by a doctor within 72 hours. While at the scene, take photos and videos of the physical injuries and property damage sustained, collect the contact information of any witnesses, and then contact us for a free case evaluation.
Can I File a Lawsuit Against the Trucking Company in Addition to the Driver in Fort Myers?
Yes, you may be able to, especially if their negligence played a role in the accident. Trucking companies can be held vicariously liable for the actions of their employees, including truck drivers. If the company's policies, maintenance practices, or training procedures contributed to the accident, they may share a certain degree of liability. That's also one of the many ways our attorneys may be able to help you maximize your claim.
What Damages Can I Recover From a Truck Accident Claim in Fort Myers?
Since Fort Myers follows Florida's no-fault system, you can typically recover compensation for medical expenses and lost income from your own insurance company, regardless of who caused the truck accident. However, if your injuries are serious and meet the legal threshold, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim against the at-fault party. In such cases, you can seek additional damages beyond the no-fault coverage. These may include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and so on.
America's Largest Injury Firm Is On Your Side
Trucking companies and their insurance providers may want to play hardball with your claim to frustrate the entire process. Others will try to settle quickly to distract you from the fact that you may be entitled to more than what they're offering. Don't let that happen to you.
