Driving a commercial vehicle or construction truck as part of your job requires a more intensive skill set than simply driving your car around town. Private drivers often don’t realize the difficulty of deftly maneuvering a large vehicle in and out of traffic. They may take reckless chances driving around you or otherwise fail to take proper care for safety. If you’ve been involved in a crash while driving your work vehicle, you need strong legal advice from our Boca Raton, FL work-related truck accident lawyer to ensure you receive the benefits you’re entitled to and your rights are protected. We’re here for you. Call Law Offices of Franks, Koenig & Neuwelt today for a consultation.
Work-Related Truck Accident Lawyer Boca Raton, FL
Although your vehicle is considerably larger than others on the road, if you get into a crash, you still have a significant risk of suffering serious injuries. If you’re driving for work, you should be covered under your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance, a free benefit that pays for your medical care and provides a wage stipend if you have to miss work. We help you understand the benefits available to you through Florida workers’ compensation, draft and file your claim, and can appeal a denied claim. If your employer is a “non-subscriber” to workers’ compensation, we initiate appropriate legal action to secure fair compensation.
You may have grounds to file a third-party personal injury lawsuit after the wreck, too. If the other driver in the crash was negligent, and their negligence was the reason for the crash, our Boca Raton work-related truck accident lawyer can file a lawsuit on your behalf. Florida law permits you to file suit if your injuries meet the state’s definition of serious.
Your employer’s goals after a work truck collision and yours may not be the same. We protect your interests, and yours alone. It may be that your employer was negligent, for example, by failing to keep your work truck in good repair, and their negligence was a factor in the crash. Your legal options change when employer negligence is a part of the equation; our lawyers investigate the entire incident, then properly advise you based on our findings. We handle all the legal matters related to the accident, taking that burden off your shoulders.
