Jacksonville Truck Accident Attorney

Hit By An 18-Wheeler or Big Rig?

Trucks are common sights on roads across the United States, carrying goods from one side of the country to the other. These massive vehicles are key parts of the distribution system, and they require some of the most intense and restrictive regulations of any class of vehicle in order to ensure the safety of both the drivers and the other people on the road. However, no regulations can stop a reckless or negligent driver from causing a crash and seriously injuring other drivers and their passengers.

If you have been injured in a truck accident, you should not hesitate to retain legal representation for help in seeking the maximum settlement possible. You may have staggering medical bills and severe injuries, and if the accident was caused by the truck driver, you deserve to be fully compensated. A professional Jacksonville truck accident attorney from Problems? Pick Porter!™ can meet with you for a consultation to determine how much your injuries may be worth and to begin work on filing your claim.

What Should I Do If I Was In a Truck Accident?

You should not accept a settlement from the insurance company before discussing the situation with us, as you may be entitled to significantly more than you have been initially offered. Semi-trucks and 18-wheelers pose a serious threat to other drivers, due to the simple fact that they are several times larger than any other vehicle on the road and are capable of causing devastating damage in a collision.

Truck drivers require commercial licenses and are required to exercise a high level of caution to avoid accidents, and when negligent driving leads to injuries, they can be held liable for damages. Truckers are typically under pressure to meet delivery deadlines and will often violate federal regulations by driving long hours, sometimes under the influence of dangerous stimulants. There are also truck accidents on record which were caused by texting while driving, as well as drunk-driving accidents involving big rigs.

Help with Your Truck Accident Claim - Pick Porter!™ (904) 701-0591

The truck driver may also be found liable for your injuries for driving under unsafe road conditions. High winds, icy roads and heavy rain make it dangerous to drive large trucks, and when the driver pushes the limits of safety and ends up in a rollover or a jackknife, other vehicles are often caught up in the damage. Whether you suffered a spinal cord injury, a brain injury or if you are seeking a wrongful death settlement, an attorney from our firm will work tirelessly to help you maximize your compensation for the accident.

    "I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him!"
    He represented me on a VOP case this year. HE, I and the prosecutor knew it was some bull basically. I was a week away from completing my 10 yrs of probation when they tried to Violate me. Mr porter told me before I even made him my lawyer that he would get this case handled in my favor and that’s exactly what he did ! And got it done in a reasonable time without me having to travel back to Florida being that I was living in NJ ! I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him!

    "Ms. Carlucci provides great support and promotes collaboration with her clients."

    My divorce litigated for close to two years as it was highly contentious and involved more complexities. Ms. Carlucci did a wonderful job of helping me understand and navigate the legal system. Ms. Carlucci set realistic expectations and was willing to listen to my concerns, questions, and thoughts. Divorce can be a very grueling and hard process. Ms. Carlucci provides great support and promotes collaboration with her clients.

    "Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand."

    When I got into an accident, I didn't think I needed a lawyer. However, everything was so confusing and the insurance company was being very pushy. Once I decided I needed to contact a lawyer, I wasn't sure who to call. On the recommendation of a friend who had used him in the past and had a very good experience, I called Jason Porter. I was given an appointment the next day and it was during that appointment I knew I had contacted the right law firm. Mr. Porter was so nice and explained everything in a way that I could understand. He assured me that I would not need to do anything but to get better and he was right! He and his amazing paralegal handled everything so I didn't have to deal with all of the confusion of the insurance company while trying to heal from the injuries I sustained in the accident. Ultimately my case was settled with the insurance company and I received a very fair settlement. I am hoping I never have to use a lawyer again, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Mr. Porter again.

    "They were very kind and extremely knowledgeable AND patient."
    Just wanted to say thank you to Attorney Carlucci and paralegal Ms. Rasulova. They were very kind and extremely knowledgeable AND patient. Hopefully I will not need an Attorney in the future, BUT if I do it will be Pick Porter.
