How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Poor Truck Maintenance Accident Lawyer in Miami?
Truck accidents are some of the most dangerous motor vehicle crashes. The size and weight of trucks leave drivers and passengers of other vehicles vulnerable and at risk of severe or catastrophic injuries.
Victims often face a painful recovery, mounting medical expenses, and out-of-pocket expenses. The last thing victims need is the additional expense of hiring an attorney. This is one reason our Miami personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means our clients don’t pay any fees upfront or out of pocket. Instead, they only pay attorney fees if we successfully secure compensation for their injuries.
Generally, at the beginning of the attorney-client relationship, a contingency fee rate, often falling between 25% and 40%, is mutually agreed upon. If the client receives payment through a settlement or jury verdict, the agreed-upon percentage will be paid to the attorney to cover their fees. If the client doesn’t get paid, the attorney doesn’t get paid.

What Damages Are Available to Poor Truck Maintenance Accident Victims in Florida?
Most poor truck maintenance accident claims are brought under a legal theory of negligence. The idea is that the trucking company’s, or defendant’s, negligent maintenance caused the accident, so the defendant should be held liable for all damages.
If a victim successfully brings a negligence claim, the victim can demand compensatory damages from the at-fault party. The purpose of compensatory damages is to make victims whole—or as close to whole as possible—after a crash. This means compensating injured parties for all economic and non-economic damages. These are types of compensatory damages.
Available damages in Florida truck accident cases can include:
- Past, current, and future medical expenses, including hospital stays, surgeries, and doctors’ appointments
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy expenses
- Loss of earnings/diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Decreased quality of life
- Loss of consortium in wrongful death claims
Our Miami personal injury attorneys can review your case and assess the damages you may be entitled to. Contact us today to learn more about what compensation is available for injured victims after a Florida truck crash.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Poor Truck Maintenance Accident in Florida?
Poor truck maintenance accident claims are a type of personal injury case. In Florida, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years. This means that accident victims have two years after an accident to file a claim against the responsible party.
When the statute of limitations expires, accident victims lose the right to recover from the liable party. There are some exceptions to this rule. A Florida personal injury lawyer can help determine when the correct filing deadline for your case would be.
