Common Questions
What You Need
to Know
We know you have questions before making a call. Here are the ones we hear most often — answered honestly.
No. We work on a 100% contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. All consultations are free, and there are no hidden costs at any stage of your case.
Statutes of limitations vary by state, typically 2–3 years from the accident date — but trucking companies begin destroying evidence (black box data, driver logs) within days. Contact us as soon as possible to preserve your case.
Do not give a recorded statement or accept any settlement offer without speaking to an attorney first. Insurers contact victims quickly precisely to lock in low-value settlements before the full extent of injuries is known.
Yes. Most states follow comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you are still entitled to a claim.
Every case is different. Value depends on medical expenses (past and future), lost income, pain and suffering, and the severity of the negligence. Commercial vehicle cases often yield significantly higher settlements than standard auto accidents due to the parties involved and the potential for punitive damages.
Most cases settle before trial. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial — because carriers and their insurers know which firms will actually fight and which won't. That reputation is what gets you better settlement offers.
Our attorneys are licensed in Florida, Georgia, Texas, New York, and Illinois, and we routinely associate with local counsel for cases in other states. Because commercial vehicles cross state lines, federal trucking law (FMCSA) applies regardless of where the crash occurred — call us and we'll let you know if we can help.
If all three are true, you likely have a viable claim: (1) a commercial vehicle was involved, (2) you suffered injuries requiring medical attention, and (3) the accident happened within your state's statute of limitations. The only way to know for sure is a free case review — we evaluate hundreds of cases per year at no cost.
Wrongful death claims follow a different legal track, with separate damages for surviving spouses, children, and parents. Damages can include lost future income, loss of consortium, funeral expenses, and the survivors' grief. We handle these claims with the sensitivity they require — call us when you're ready, there's no rush during your free consultation.
