Get Help for Your Truck Accident Claim in Fort Lauderdale FL
If you need a Fort Lauderdale Truck Accident Lawyer, the Mike Slocumb Law Firm helps crash victims across Broward County FL pursue fair compensation for catastrophic injuries, medical bills, lost income, and pain. Accidents involving a commercial semi-truck or box truck are fundamentally different from standard car collisions.
Truck cases involve complex Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, mandatory higher insurance limits, and multiple potential parties at fault (driver, carrier, maintenance company). We promptly launch an investigation to preserve critical evidence like logbooks, telematics data, and maintenance records, providing you the best chance for recovery.
We’ll evaluate your claim, handle negotiations with insurers, and outline the following steps during a complimentary consultation, allowing you to focus on your recovery. To learn more about our commitment to justice in South Florida, explore our main Fort Lauderdale personal injury services.
