There are roughly 450,000 truck accidents in the United States any given year, and Florida experiences a large number of truck fatalities each year. Vehicle accidents involving trucks are especially devastating due to their large weight.

If you were recently involved in a truck accident, you may be wondering if you need a lawyer. Not everyone wants to pay for a truck accident attorney in Marco Island, FL, but the investment is generally well worth it.
Why to Hire a Truck Accident Attorney in Marco Island, FL
Legal Advice
The first step in your case is to arrange a consultation with your lawyer. During your consultation, your lawyer will give you legal advice regarding your case. It’s best to speak to a lawyer before you make any formal statements to the insurance company, if possible.
Paperwork
As the plaintiff in your case, you are responsible for submitting the proper paperwork to take the truck driver and/or their employer to court. Your lawyer will file the proper paperwork for you so that you can rest assured everything was filed properly.
Settlement Negotiations
Your defendant’s insurance company will likely offer you a settlement. However, their first settlement offer is usually rather insulting. Your lawyer will use legal support to negotiate a higher settlement for you.
