Truck Accident Victim? Call the John D. Fernandez Team

Truck accidents are often much more severe than car accidents and significantly more complex. Having a truck accident attorney on your side as soon as possible can help you in the long-term. If you or a loved one has been in an accident involving a commercial truck or semi, call the John D. Fernandez team today. We work to hold negligent parties accountable and pursue the maximum compensation allowed by law for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Why Truck Accidents are Complex

There are three primary reasons truck accidents are more complex than car accidents.

1. A truck accident has multiple parties who could be at fault. Depending on the situation, not only could the driver be liable, but also the trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loaders, and even the manufacturer. Insurance companies know this and each will try to place blame on the other.
2. Trucking companies must follow strict federal Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. When these regulations are violated, it can be a critical factor in proving negligence. You need an attorney who knows how to navigate these complex federal and state standards.
3. Truck accidents rarely involve just one other driver or vehicle. More often, there are multiple victims and parties involved. This can lead to compensation issues because most insurance for cargo carriers are single limit policies. This means there is only one sum of money for all victims for both their injuries and property loss.

You Need Your Own Truck Accident Attorney

Because many trucking policies have a single limit, it is vital to have an advocate solely focused on your specific recovery. When multiple victims are involved, you want an attorney whose only priority is ensuring your unique medical needs and damages are fully recognized, so call John D. Fernandez, P.A. to fight for you.
