Liability Targets In Palm Beach County
Truck accidents often involve layers of responsibility beyond the driver. Depending on contracts and control, liability can include the motor carrier, broker or shipper, loading contractors, and maintenance providers. We review inspection logs, repair records, and bills of lading to determine where failures occurred—from missed safety checks to overweight cargo or improper securement. To explore how fault and coverage interact, read more about truck accidents, or compare our auto accidents page for guidance when both commercial and passenger vehicles are involved.
What To Do After a Truck Accident
Five steps that protect your health and claim
- Seek medical care immediately, even for mild pain—truck crash injuries can worsen over time.
- Take clear photos and videos of the scene, vehicles, debris, and visible injuries.
- Gather names and contact details for witnesses and responding officers.
- Avoid recorded statements with insurers until you’ve spoken to a lawyer.
- Call our team early so we can issue preservation letters, request ELD/ECM data, and locate business or traffic camera footage.

Results And Next Steps
The strongest truck accident cases start with early preservation and consistent documentation. While many claims resolve before trial, careful preparation often determines whether a settlement reflects the full extent of your losses. During your consultation, ask for examples of recent case results and how our structured approach—intake, investigation, negotiation, and, when needed, litigation—keeps your case organized and moving forward with clarity and confidence.
Answers for West Palm Beach Truck Accident Victims
What evidence disappears first?
Electronic logging data, dashcam footage, ECM records, and maintenance logs are often overwritten within weeks. Early preservation letters help secure this data before it’s lost.
Are trailers or loads part of the case?
Yes. Improperly loaded or shifting freight often contributes to crashes. Liability can extend to shippers, loaders, or carriers who controlled the cargo.
What if I share some fault?
Florida’s modified comparative fault rule allows recovery if you are less than 50% at fault. We build liability with independent inspections, data analysis, and witness statements to counter inflated fault claims.
Do you coordinate with local doctors?
Yes. We work with medical providers across Palm Beach County to align treatment notes, diagnostic imaging, and billing with your case file for a cohesive record.
What determines settlement value?
Compensation depends on liability, available insurance limits, and the severity of injuries. We evaluate coverage and documentation to establish an accurate claim value early on.
