Carlos Verdecia: Your Miami Truck Accident Lawyer

A skilled truck accident lawyer understands that the extra weight of a truck, especially one that is loaded with heavy cargo, almost always causes more serious injuries than an accident with a passenger vehicle. The legality of truck accident cases are also more complicated because you are usually dealing with more a commercial plaintiff who almost always has better legal representation than a private individual would have. Additionally, there may be more than one plaintiff in these types of accidents since there may be more than one business involved and the safety conditions of the road come into play more often.

If you’ve been harmed in a crash involving a big rig, tractor trailer, 18 wheeler or any other huge vehicle, you need an attorney that understands these accidents, as they are treated differently in the eyes of the law. Not only that, but these companies are bound to have an intimidating insurance group backing them up – someone you shouldn’t stand up against by yourself. Keep in mind that dealing directly with the insurance companies involved in a truck accident, you will never get you a fair or adequate settlement. In fact, when insurance companies deal with unrepresented individuals, they usually only offer a tiny fraction of what the individual is actually eligible for, if they make any offer at all! This is a sad truth.
