Deerfield Beach Braking Failure

Brakes are an essential part of trucking safety but according to many statistics they are also the cause of many trucking collisions in Deerfield Beach and other Florida cities. When brakes on trucks fail, drivers lose control of their big rigs or tractor trailers, leading to head-on collisions, chain reaction crashes, rollovers, and other types of accidents.

If you have been injured in any type of collision involving a commercial truck, it is important to get legal assistance. You can be sure that the truck driver and truck company have teams of attorneys, and you deserve legal representation as well.

If you file an insurance claim immediately after your truck accident – and you should file when it is possible – your insurance company will make an offer that is supposed to cover your medical costs, car repair costs, and other expenses. However, it can be difficult to determine whether this number will cover all the costs associated with your injuries.

In fact, many plaintiffs who are seriously injured in a traffic accident find out after the fact that their insurance money only covers a small portion of the total costs of their injuries. The reality is that a truck accident can be a life altering event, one that causes financial devastation as well as long-term medical costs and income losses. After a serious truck accident you may face many large and incidental costs, including:

• Loss of income
• Loss of future income potential or future earnings
• Medical costs
• Hospital costs
• Surgical costs
• The expenses associated with diagnostic testing
• Physical therapy
• Therapy or counseling
• Rehabilitation
• Physiotherapy
• Medication
• Assisted-living facility costs or at-home care costs
• The costs of transportation to and from doctors’ appointments and other appointments
• Car repair costs or car replacement costs
• Medical devices, including braces, wheelchairs, prosthetics and others
• Dental or optical costs, if you have sustained facial injuries
• The cost of making your home or vehicle accessible to you if you have been permanently or seriously injured
• Lifelong medical costs if you have been permanently injured
• At-home help if you cannot complete simple tasks such as cooking for yourself
