I was hit by an 18 wheeler truck and was injured; what are my rights?

A common question that a prospective client will ask if the question above. Please accept this response from the accident lawyer from Boca Raton (injury lawyer Fort Lauderdale, accident attorney Weston, injury attorney Cooper City, accident lawyer Plantation, injury attorney Coral Springs, accident lawyer Parkland).

Truck accidents commonly result in larger accidents. Also, trucks, particularly larger trucks, commonly have large insurance policies. Assuming you are hit in your car, then your PIP coverage generally would apply. The PIP coverage, as discussed in prior blog entries, generally pays 80 percent of your medical expenses and 60 percent of any lost wages, to a total of $10,000.00. This allows a person, even if they do not have health insurance, to be able to treat and get better. Further, you may be entitled to non-economic damages, like loss of the enjoyment of life or pain and suffering, if you can show certain proof.
