Florida Injury Lawyer Blog
If you have been injured in a truck accident in Tamarac or any South Florida community, you will face a number of challenges. Florida has become known over a number of years for having high rates of insurance fraud, which makes insurance companies look at all roadway accidents in the state with extra suspicion. New personal injury protection (PIP) rules limit how much money victims get for their injuries, which can affect your ability to pay for healthcare if you are in a Florida collision.
Healthcare in Tamarac and South Florida can also be expensive, which can be a problem if you have been injured in a serious roadway accident in Tamarac or another South Florida area. You may have a hard time recovering enough money to pay for the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars you may need to pay for surgeries, medical devices, medications, treatment, and more.
Fortunately, there are options available to you. After being injured in a trucking accident, there are a few things that you will need:
Medical professionals.
One of the first things you’ll want to do after being involved in a trucking accident is to get a full medical evaluation. Even if you’re not sure if you’ve been injured, it is always best to be cautious and to get to a doctor’s opinion. Some serious injuries do not have any obvious symptoms right away, and you don’t want to delay potentially life-saving treatment because you’re not quite sure whether you have been injured.
Legal professionals.
Legal professionals can help you after a roadway accident. The attorneys at Flaxman Law Group, for example, routinely help injured patients find medical care, mechanics, sources of support, and other resources. More importantly, attorneys can help injured victims determine whether they have a legal claim and can help victims pursue that claim as that they seek compensation for damages, including lost wages, property damages, medical bills, and more. One of the first phone calls you will want to make after a truck accident is to a personal injury attorney.
Insurance coverage.
Having insurance coverage after a car accident is vital. In a trucking accident, you may be covered not only by your car insurance but also by the truck driver’s and truck carrier’s insurance. While truck drivers carry large amounts of insurance, however, getting compensation and benefits from this coverage can be a difficult process. Working with the legal professional and attorney can help.
Support.
Recovering from serious injuries after a trucking accident is exhausting and often emotionally draining. Seeking support from friends, family, counselors, or support groups can help you get the strength and assistance you need as you start to recover your life.
Mechanics and other professionals to help you get back on the road.
There are many professionals who can help you rebuild your life and even get back behind the wheel after an accident. Mechanics can help repair your car, for example, while rehabilitation driving professionals can help you determine how you can drive even with changed mobility.
