Potentially Liable Parties in Your Alachua County Truck Accident Claim

Recovering damages for a truck accident starts with identifying the person or entity whose negligence led to the collision. This is not always an easy task, which makes having an attorney by your side very important.

We will identify the at-fault party(s), which could include:

The truck driver if the accident was caused by their actions, including hours-or-service violations, distracted driving, etc.
The trucking company if it failed to properly train or vet the driver or failed to ensure they were properly licensed (Trucking companies are typically also vicariously liable for a driver’s actions, even if they did not contribute to those actions.)
The cargo loading facility if the truck was improperly loaded, balanced, or secured
Government or municipal agencies if flawed or faulty roads, infrastructure, or traffic signs and signals were at fault
The truck or parts manufacturer if a manufacturing or design flaw caused or contributed to the collision
The truck repair facility if the truck was not properly repaired or maintained for roadworthiness

Our investigation will get to the bottom of your accident by proving the required elements of negligence—duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages.

Golf Cart Accident

Our client tragically lost his life when a distracted golf cart driver crashed into our client while he was riding his bicycle. Our client was an avid cyclist and was riding his usual route when a golf cart made a left turn and cut across our client’s bike path. The impact of the collision was so severe that our client was knocked off his bicycle into the air and landed in the roadway. Due to the golf cart driver’s failure to adhere to standard traffic regulations and exercise due caution, our client was tragically killed. Our office is pursuing a wrongful death action on behalf of the surviving family.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Our client was severely injured in an intersection crash. She suffered two (2) significant “jolts” – the first from when she was T-boned in the intersection, and the second from when the original impact caused her to strike a utility pole. The crash caused highly painful low back injuries, initially forcing the client to undergo aggressive pain management, including radiofrequency ablations (nerve burning). A highly compelling, emotional video was prepared featuring testimony from the client and her Aunt about the mental, emotional, and physical problems the client has faced since the crash. The case settled pre-suit for $500,000.00.

Car Accident

Our client was a driving on a curved road in a residential neighborhood in South Florida at midnight when he was struck head-on by a high-performance sportscar traveling at a very high rate of speed. One of the witnesses to the crash was a U.S. Army Officer who saw the sportscar literally “fly through the median” prior to striking our client’s vehicle. Fortunately, the at-fault vehicle initially struck bushes and knocked over a palm tree prior to the collision, otherwise the injuries to our client most likely would have been fatal. A life care plan for the client was prepared by a highly qualified, well respected certified life care planner hired by our firm, and ultimately, the case settled for $500,000.00.

$450,000

Motorcycle Accident

Our client was preparing to stop when the car driven behind them failed to notice and crashed into the rear of our client’s vehicle.

Our client suffered catastrophic injuries. The case ultimately settled pre-suit for $450,000.00.

Loss of income
Loss of future earning capacity
Property damage or destruction
Diminished property value
