Sky Law Firm's Truck Accident Expertise
Commercial truck cases are fundamentally different from car-accident cases. The defendant is a trucking company with its own attorneys, investigators, and rapid-response team that deploys to crash scenes within hours. Sky Law preserves the electronic control module data, driver logs, dispatch records, and maintenance files before the carrier can ‘lose’ them, and we hold motor carriers accountable under both Florida common law and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
Understanding the Truck Accident Legal Process in Florida
Statute of Limitations — 2 Years
Since March 24, 2023, you have only two years to file (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a)). Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to compensation.
Modified Comparative Negligence — 51% Bar
If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing (Fla. Stat. § 768.81(6)). Insurance companies aggressively push fault above 50% to eliminate payouts.
Insurance Company Tactics
After a truck accident in Kendall, insurers will contact you within 24-48 hours. Their goal is to minimize your claim through recorded statements, quick lowball offers, delayed responses, and fault shifting. Do not engage without an attorney.
Building Your Case
Sky Law Firm builds every case for trial:
- Medical documentation — every injury diagnosed and documented
- Economic damage calculation — lost wages, future earning capacity, lifetime care costs
- Non-economic valuation — pain, suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment
- Liability establishment — accident reconstruction, surveillance, electronic data
- Demand preparation — comprehensive presentation to the insurer
- Mediation and negotiation — aggressive pursuit of fair settlement
- Trial — if needed, we try your case in Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court (Miami-Dade)
What Your Case May Be Worth
