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.

Our Alachua County Truck Accident Lawyers Will Assess Your Damages

The size and weight disparity between a large truck and a smaller vehicle can lead to serious, even fatal, injuries for the smaller vehicle’s occupants. Catastrophic injuries can lead to life-long medical and rehabilitative care.

In addition to current and future treatment costs, we will also demand the following economic and non-economic damages:

• Loss of income
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Property damage or destruction
• Diminished property value
• Disability and disfigurement
• Physical pain and suffering
• Mental and emotional angst

At Meldon Law, we are a force to be reckoned with, inside and outside the courtroom. We work hard to reach a settlement agreement but will not hesitate to take your case to court if needed.

We also support grieving families in their pursuit of wrongful death damages. Our Alachua County wrongful death lawyers will clarify who can take legal action and who can receive compensation.

Why it is Important to File Your Truck Accident Lawsuit Within the Allotted Time

If you fail to meet the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit, you could inadvertently forfeit your right to file it at all. This deadline was cut in half in 2023, so meeting it can be difficult.

You generally have two years to file your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11.

Avoid potential confusion by letting our law firm handle it for you. Our lawyers will file your lawsuit on time and in the appropriate venue.
