    Why You Should Hire Morgan and Morgan Truck Accident Lawyers in West Palm Beach, Florida

    Given the high number of truck accident cases in this part of Florida, finding an attorney to represent you shouldn't be a problem. But keep in mind that the goal is to find someone who is best suited to handle a case of this magnitude. That person is a Morgan and Morgan truck accident lawyer. 

    Here's why. 

    We Are Familiar With Florida's Complex Car Accident Laws

    Navigating a truck accident case is not as easy as it sounds on paper. This is despite the fact that Florida follows the no-fault legal system.

    You shouldn't expect your own insurance company to compensate you for your injuries and losses without questioning anything. In fact, you may be shocked to discover that they will desert you in your hour of need. 

    By hiring Morgan and Morgan truck accident lawyers in West Palm Beach, you can rest assured that your case is being handled by legal experts with in-depth knowledge of traffic laws in this part of Florida and throughout the state.

We know what works and what doesn't, how to approach each case based on its unique circumstances, and different ways to ensure that our client's interests are protected throughout the process. 

    We Know How To Maximize Truck Accident Claims

    Any skilled truck accident lawyer can help you get compensation for your injuries and losses. But at Morgan and Morgan, we don't aim at securing just any kind of settlement. We believe that our clients deserve maximum compensation for their injuries and losses. For this reason, you can count on our lawyers to do everything possible to maximize your claim. 

    We Have Been Serving Floridians for Over 35 Years

    For more than three decades, Morgan and Morgan have been serving the injured in Florida, building a reputation as a trusted and respected injury firm in the Sunshine State and throughout the nation. To give you some perspective, the first ever Morgan and Morgan office was opened in Orlando. Since then, we've grown and multiplied to become the nation's largest injury firm, serving clients from coast to coast. Our track record of success in personal injury cases, including truck accidents, speaks volumes about our commitment to fighting for the rights of the injured.

    Our injury lawyers have access to powerful legal resources that can make a significant difference in your case. From a dedicated team of expert attorneys, truck accident investigators, and accident reconstruction experts down to the support staff, you can count on the Morgan and Morgan team to build a strong case on your behalf.  

    We Don't Settle for Less Than What Our Clients Deserve

    At Morgan and Morgan, we do not believe in settling for less when it comes to pursuing justice and fair compensation for your truck accident case. We also know that insurance companies are in business, and they make money by minimizing payouts. Since our lawyers are skilled negotiators, you can count on them to help you secure a favorable settlement that accurately reflects the impact of the accident on your life or that of your loved one. 

    We Are Never Afraid To Go to Court

    Because we don't believe in settling for less unless it is your best offer, we are never afraid to go to court to get you the compensation you deserve after a truck accident. In fact, our attorneys are specifically trained to handle these cases in and out of court. This kind of approach prompts insurance companies to think twice before testing our patience. 

    We Don't Get Paid Unless We Win

    At Morgan and Morgan, we operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you don't have to worry about upfront costs or out-of-pocket expenses when you hire our attorneys to handle your case. Rather, we only get paid if we win your case. This payment structure has many benefits, most importantly the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your ability to secure top-notch legal representation does not depend on the size of your wallet.

    Understanding Florida's Negligence Laws And How They Apply In Truck Accident Cases 

    By default, if you get injured in a truck accident in Florida, your own insurance company is required to compensate you. This is known as the 'no-fault' system.

    However, since your own insurance coverage may not be enough to settle your damages, Florida laws may allow you to seek additional compensation from the other party. It is important to note that these laws do not allow you to seek compensation from the other party simply because what your insurance company has offered is insufficient. Rather, you must justify filing a claim with the other party by proving their involvement in the truck accident. 

    One common way of establishing fault is by proving that the at-fault party was negligent in one way or another. In such cases, the concept of negligence could take different forms.

    Here are a few examples of negligence in a truck accident case. 

    • The other driver was not paying attention to the road.
    • The driver was operating the vehicle while excessively fatigued or in violation of Florida's Hours of Service regulations.
    • The truck driver was driving above the speed limit or too fast for the road and weather conditions at the time of the accident.
    • The driver displayed aggressive behaviors such as tailgating, abruptly changing lanes, or disregarding traffic laws, putting you or your loved ones at risk. 
    • The at-fault driver was driving while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or prescription medication, impairing their ability to operate the vehicle safely leading up to the accident. 
    • The trucking company failed to properly maintain the vehicle, leading to mechanical failures that caused the accident.
    • The accident occurred due to an unsecured or improperly loaded cargo. 
    • The driver in question failed to obey traffic signals, stop signs, or yield right-of-way, overlooking the safety of others on the road.
    • The truck driver did not receive proper training or possessed inadequate skills to handle that particular vehicle.

    If you can establish the other party's involvement in the accident, you may be able to recover damages from their insurer.
