Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about truck accident cases in Cocoa Beach
After a truck accident in Cocoa Beach, your safety and health come first. Call 911 immediately and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine – some injuries may not be immediately apparent. If possible, take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and your injuries.
Collect information from the truck driver, including their commercial driver's license number, employer information, and insurance details. Get contact information from any witnesses, particularly tourists who may leave the area. Don't discuss fault or give statements to insurance companies before speaking with a lawyer.
Determining liability in a truck accident often involves multiple parties. The truck driver might be responsible for negligent driving, but their employer could share liability for poor hiring practices or inadequate training. The trucking company might be liable for forcing drivers to exceed hours-of-service limits or skip required rest breaks.
Other potentially liable parties include maintenance contractors, cargo loading companies, or even vehicle manufacturers. Our experienced truck accident lawyers investigate all aspects of the crash, including reviewing driver logs, maintenance records, and company policies to establish liability.
Truck accident victims in Cocoa Beach may be eligible for various types of compensation, including:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Rehabilitation costs
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Every case is unique, and our team works diligently to ensure all damages are properly calculated and pursued.
At Douglas R. Beam, P.A., we represent truck accident victims on a contingency fee basis. This means we don't get paid a fee unless we win your case. During your free initial consultation, we'll review your case details and explain how our fee structure works.
This arrangement allows you to focus on recovery while we handle your legal case without any upfront costs. We also advance all case-related expenses, which are only reimbursed if we secure compensation for you.
In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain circumstances might affect this timeline. If you're filing a claim against a government entity (for example, if a municipal vehicle was involved), different deadlines may apply.
It's crucial to contact a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. Early intervention allows us to preserve evidence, interview witnesses while memories are fresh, and ensure compliance with all legal deadlines.
