We have experience handling all types of motor vehicle accidents, and we’re ready to get to work for you. Let our truck accident attorneys help you today.
You Can Afford Our Law Firm’s Services Because We Work on Contingency
Our law firm accepts truck accident cases on a contingency-fee basis. This makes legal aid accessible to those even in dire financial straits. The arrangement is simple; if we recover compensation, our payment comes from your settlement. If not, you owe nothing. It’s a risk-free arrangement that puts your needs above everything else.
We Also Offer Free Initial Consultations
We want to help! Our firm offers free consultations so we can discuss the details of your Plant City accident. If your injuries are severe, ask about our home visit options, and we can come to you. During our hassle-free conversation, we can discuss your case’s possible outcome, your legal options, and damages’ value.
We Encourage You to Consider Prompt Action After Your Clinton Truck Accident
Florida law outlines how long you have to file a truck accident lawsuit. These deadlines may apply:
- You generally have two years to file an injury lawsuit. Your deadline begins from the date of your collision or when you discovered your injuries.
- You typically have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of a late loved one. Your deadline begins from the date of your loved one’s passing – not from the date of their accident.
When you entrust your truck accident case to our legal team, you don’t have to worry about deadlines expiring. Instead, you can focus your attention on recovering and moving forward.
Ask Dave – How Much Is My Truck Accident Case Worth?
Compensation depends on your injuries and losses. You might hear of lawsuits with large compensation amounts, but comparing your case to another would be like comparing oranges to bananas. Settlements in truck accident cases are awarded on a case-by-case basis.
When determining your losses, our team will consider:
- Your missed time from work
- Your working ability
- Your injury’s severity and expected recovery period
- The injury’s effect on your life
Considering these factors allows us to calculate your past, present, and future losses.
Compensable Losses in Your Plant City Truck Accident Case
Recoverable damages are divided into two categories: economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are losses with tangible monetary values. An example might be your hospital bills from your injuries. You can add them up to determine what you need.
Compensable economic damages include:
- Doctor visits
- Hospital bills
- Funeral expenses
- Therapy costs
- Rehabilitation
- Property damage expenses
- Lost income and other regular earnings
Non-economic damages relate to your physical and emotional trauma. They do not have inherent dollar values. We calculate them based on your post-accident experience. Examples of non-economic damages comprise:
- Disfigurement
- Disability
- Loss of consortium
- Pain and suffering
You may recover other losses than those listed here. If so, we’ll pursue them with our legal resources.
The Benefits of Partnering With Dismuke Law
When facing injuries from a traumatic truck accident, dealing with a lawsuit can feel like mountain climbing with no gear. Matters change when you partner with our Plant City truck accident team. We’re committed to doing everything possible to resolve your case.
We Will Investigate Your Truck Accident’s Details
We’re not just lawyers; we’re also investigators. We will examine the details of your accident and gather evidence to support your claim. Supporting evidence may comprise:
- The accident report
- Testimony from eyewitnesses
- Expert testimony
- The truck’s black box data
- Your damages’ receipts and invoices
- Traffic camera recordings or dashcam footage
With the evidence we find, we aim to prove that because another party caused your collision, you deserve damages.
We Will Negotiate With the Liable Insurance Company
We may pursue compensation from the trucking company’s insurance provider. However, recovering damages isn’t easy. We must provide evidence to support your case, negotiate for what you need, and cite the liable insurance policy. Not all insurance companies are eager to resolve truck accident cases.
We will rely on our years of experience to advocate for what you need. We will also protect you from bad faith insurance practices, evaluate possible settlement offers, and handle all communications.
We Will File Your Potential Lawsuit
If insurance negotiations don’t work out, we can file a lawsuit and advocate for you in court. Filing a lawsuit is unlike the portrayals you’ve seen on TV. It takes months to resolve a case, and it involves more bureaucracy than you’ve ever imagined.
After filing your lawsuit, the insurer may decide to settle. If so, we can drop the lawsuit and resolve your case through that avenue. If not, we’re prepared to take your case all the way to a verdict.
We Pride Ourselves on Consistent Communication
With Dismuke Law on your side, you’ll never be in the dark about your case’s progression. You can reach us at any time with your questions and concerns. We’re here to put your mind at ease during this challenging time.
