It just takes one mistake from a truck driver who is not paying attention to cause a devastating accident that can significantly affect your health and financial future.

Fully loaded trucks in the state of Florida could weigh as much as 40,000 pounds, which is significantly more than the average passenger car, which may weigh around 3,000 pounds.

If the truck driver or another party was at fault in your crash, you should not have to pay your medical bills yourself. You may be able to recover your costs of treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more in a personal injury lawsuit.

A Daytona Beach truck accident lawyer from Bogin, Munns & Munns may be able to pursue compensation on your behalf in settlement negotiations or in a personal injury lawsuit.

Recoverable Damages in a Truck Accident Case

After a crash between a car and a truck, you and your passengers may suffer significant injuries. These injuries could lead to a long hospitalization. You may even have to enter a rehabilitation facility to try to recover. Sometimes, those injured in a truck crash never fully recover.

Some of the types of damages you may be eligible to receive after a crash with a truck include:

Medical expenses: which may include doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy appointments, and other medical care. You may also be able to recover the estimated future costs of all medical care.

Lost wages: where you may be unable to work for a long time after the crash while you heal from your injuries.

Emotional trauma: which may include anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Pain and suffering: which can include things like physical pain that lingers after the crash, as well as a reduction in your quality of life, leaving you unable to enjoy the things you did before the accident.

If your family member died in a Daytona Beach truck accident, you may be able to recover a different set of damages in a wrongful death lawsuit. Bogin, Munns & Munns may be able to handle your wrongful death lawsuit while your family grieves.

Common Forms of Truck Driver Negligence

Because of the large size of the truck, any driver operating this type of vehicle must behave in a professional manner. A driver who does not have the proper training or who is not paying close attention to potential hazards has a far greater risk of causing a serious crash.

If a truck driver causes your accident while engaging in any of the following negligent actions, they may be liable for your injuries:

Drunk Driving

Should a truck driver drink alcohol before starting a route, he or she could be guilty of causing the accident through drunk driving. In the state of Florida, a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or greater is required to be charged with drunk driving. However, drivers operating a vehicle with a commercial driver’s license may be held to a BAC limit of just 0.04%.

Fatigued Driving

Because truck drivers must drive such a large number of hours, they could become fatigued while behind the wheel. Drowsy driving is a significant problem, as it can lead to a host of mistakes for the driver, including:

  1. Slowing of reaction time
  2. Reduction in processing information
  3. Reduction in the sharpness of the driver’s vision
  4. Loss of concentration

Violating Traffic Laws

A truck driver who is violating traffic laws could be liable for the accident they cause. Such a violation could include:

  • Speeding
  • Failure to yield
  • Illegal lane change
  • Not stopping at a red light or stop sign
  • Not using their lights at night
  • Driving while using a cell phone
  • And more
