We are sorry to hear that your father sustained such a serious injury in a South Florida truck crash. Unfortunately, truck accidents in Florida can be extremely serious - even deadly - due to the sheer size of trucks versus smaller cars.

When violent car and truck accidents occur, damages to organs can result due to blunt abdominal trauma. Kidney damage can range from bruising to blunt kidney injury. Liver and spleen injuries often accompany kidney injuries. Although any kidney injury is a serious injury, the extent of the injury will determine the value of the personal injury claim.

Although we cannot give you a clear dollar amount without knowing the specifics of the accident, the extent of your father’s injuries, and his medical prognosis, we can tell you that your father should talk with a skilled South Florida personal injury lawyer to find out more about his rights.

He can call Chalik & Chalik at (888) 539-5297 to speak with a knowledgeable Fort Lauderdale accident lawyer in a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss his case in detail.
