Q:
What types of things can I sue a truck driver and their trucking company for following an accident?

If you were injured in a Florida truck wreck caused by a negligent truck driver, then you may be entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit for your damages. After a South Florida truck accident, there are many things that a truck driver and their trucking company may be held liable for, including:

Lost wages due to time missed from work
Medical expenses and hospital bills
Physical therapy
Pain and suffering
Future medical expenses
Future loss of earnings

It is very important to your recovery after a Florida truck accident that you engage a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer who has dealt with trucking companies and their insurance carriers. An experienced lawyer will know how to deal with the insurance company and what tricks they have up their sleeves. They will be able to help you avoid any mistakes that could be detrimental to your case.
An accident attorney in Fort Lauderdale will also advise you that there may be multiple parties liable in your case. Not only will you be able to bring a suit against the truck driver and his employer, but you may be able to sue the trucking company, the other company that hired the truck driver, the owner of the trailer, the owner of the trailer cab, and the owner of the freight that is in the truck. Additionally, if there was a defect in the truck, the truck’s manufacturer and the manufacturer of the cab and trailer are parties that may have liability in your case.
