We identify all liable parties, secure trucking logs and black box data, work with accident reconstruction experts, and pursue maximum compensation through settlement or trial.
Commercial insurers fight hard to limit payouts. We fight harder—backed by experience and expert resources.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, seek immediate medical attention.
Once your condition is stable, speak with experienced trucking accident attorney Jacob Gordon as soon as possible. Early action allows critical evidence — such as dashcam footage, black box (electronic logging device) data, driver logs, maintenance records, and witness information — to be preserved before it disappears.
Jacob Gordon can evaluate whether you have a claim, guide you through the process, coordinate appropriate medical care if needed, and take immediate steps to protect your rights.
If a trucking company, commercial driver, or other responsible party is legally liable for your injury, their insurance carrier may ultimately be responsible for paying your damages, including medical expenses.
However, the process is rarely straightforward. Medical bills are often initially submitted to your health insurance, if you have coverage and the ability to satisfy your deductible. In some cases, medical payments coverage or treatment on a lien basis may be available. Complicating matters further, some medical providers do not treat patients involved in accident claims, and others may not accept certain health insurance plans.
Navigating these issues while protecting your financial recovery requires careful coordination. An experienced trucking accident attorney can evaluate liability, identify available insurance coverage, and help ensure that your treatment and reimbursement are handled properly.
In Florida, most trucking and commercial vehicle accident lawsuits must be filed within two years from the date of the crash.
That said, waiting can seriously affect your case. Electronic data can be overwritten, vehicle inspections may occur, and witnesses’ memories fade over time. Taking action early allows critical evidence to be preserved and your claim to be properly evaluated.
If you believe a commercial driver or trucking company caused your injury, it is important to speak with Jacob Gordon as soon as possible to protect your rights.
There are no upfront fees. Jacob Gordon Injury Law handles trucking and commercial vehicle accident cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing unless and until a recovery is obtained on your behalf.
If a settlement or verdict is secured, our fee is an agreed-upon percentage of that recovery, in full compliance with the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar.
