Truck Rollover Accidents

Experienced Legal Representation for Victims of Truck Rollover Accidents in Florida

While all types of truck accidents present serious risks, truck rollover accidents are perhaps the most dangerous of all. These accidents often have tragic consequences, and victims and their families can face a lifetime of consequences due to circumstances that were entirely beyond their control.

At Searcy Denney, we are committed to helping victims of Florida truck accidents recover just compensation for their losses. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, or if you have tragically lost a loved one, we are prepared to do everything we can to seek justice on your behalf. We are committed, compassionate and relentless advocates for our clients, and we have a proven track record of success in truck accident settlement negotiations and litigation.

Identifying the Cause of Your (or Your Loved One’s) Truck Rollover Accident

When you need to seek just compensation for a serious or fatal truck accident, identifying the cause of the accident is one of the first steps in the process. Truck rollover accidents can have several causes, and being able to pinpoint the specific cause of your (or your loved one’s) accident is essential for seeking the financial compensation you and your family deserve.

Some of the most common causes of truck rollover accidents include:

• Driving an 18-wheeler or another large commercial truck at an excessive speed
• Driving a large commercial truck in high winds
• Improperly loading a truck’s cargo
• Failing to properly secure a truck’s cargo
• Braking harshly (which can cause an 18-wheeler to fishtail, jackknife and roll over)
• Attempting to make too sharp of a turn
• Attempting to swerve in order to avoid a collision or an obstacle in the roadway

At Searcy Denney, we use forensic evidence, witness statements, cell phone photos and videos, traffic and surveillance camera footage, telematics data, engineering reports, and various other forms of evidence to prove why truck rollover accidents happened and who (or what company) is to blame. Once you contact us about your (or your loved one’s) rollover accident, we will get to work gathering the evidence we need right away.

Common Injuries (and Their Costs) in Serious Florida Truck Accidents

Just as truck rollover accidents can have many different causes, they can also have many different consequences. When filing a claim for a serious or fatal truck accident, it is critical to ensure that you have a comprehensive understanding of the consequences you are facing—not only now, but also months, years or even decades ahead. Some of the most common serious injuries resulting from Florida truck accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Neck injuries
• Nerve damage
• Internal organ damage
• Severe bone fractures
• Burns and other injuries resulting in permanent scars

For truck accident victims, the lifetime costs of these injuries can be substantial. These include not only medical costs, but also the costs of being unable to work for an extended period of time. Severe traumatic injuries can cause severe pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of consortium and companionship, and loss of enjoyment of life as well—and these are also costs for which our lawyers can seek just compensation on your behalf.

If you have tragically lost a loved one in a fatal truck rollover accident, no amount of money will ever compensate you for what you have lost. Even so, filing a wrongful death claim in this scenario is extremely important. Not only will this help ensure that the at-fault party is held fully accountable, but it will also help ensure that your family has the financial resources it needs for the future. Our lawyers can explain everything you need to know in order to make an informed decision about asserting your family’s legal rights.

Understanding Your Legal Rights After a Serious or Fatal Truck Rollover Accident

If you are facing the life-altering consequences of a serious or fatal truck rollover accident, it will be important to ensure that you have a clear understanding of your legal rights. With this in mind, here is a brief introduction to what you need to know:

1. You Have the Right to Know What Happened and Who (or What Company) is Responsible

Understanding why the accident happened and who (or what company) is responsible is important for finding closure. It is also essential for seeking the financial compensation you and your family deserve. As a result, this is information that you have the right to know; and, at Searcy Denney, we can use our experience to obtain this information on your behalf as quickly as possible.

2. You Have the Right to Seek the Full Compensation You and Your Family Deserve

If you have a claim for a serious or fatal truck rollover accident, you have the right to seek the full compensation you and your family deserve. As we discussed above, this includes not only compensation for your direct out-of-pocket losses, but for your non-financial losses as well. Our lawyers can help you understand the long-term losses you are entitled to recover so that you can make informed decisions about your next steps.

3. You Have the Right to Hire a Lawyer to Deal with the Insurance Companies on Your Behalf

Filing a claim for a serious or fatal rollover accident typically involves dealing with the at-fault party’s insurance company. However, you do not have to do this alone. Our lawyers can deal with the insurance companies on your behalf, and we can do so at no out-of-pocket cost to you. With our firm’s contingency-fee representation, our clients pay nothing unless we help them secure a settlement or verdict.
