What to Do If You’re in a Truck Accident in Boynton Beach
Knowing what to do after a truck accident will help you act responsibly and in your best interests, especially when emotions run high. Here are the steps we recommend you follow:
1. Don’t Leave the Scene
Under Florida statute 316.027, a driver who leaves the scene of an accident without filing a report could face severe legal consequences. The law requires drivers to stop when someone gets injured in a motor accident.
If someone suffers an injury or death due to the collision, leaving the scene can be prosecuted as a felony. However, leaving the scene of an accident in Florida is not considered a felony if no injury occurs.
2. Call Emergency Services
Calling 911 is the fastest way to request an ambulance and get a police officer to the scene.
The officer will assess the accident and document the event in a report. A police report is critical to building your case.
3. Seek Medical Attention
Always seek medical attention — even if you think you’ll be fine without it. A doctor will treat your injuries and uncover issues you may not yet be aware of.
Also, remember that your adrenaline is running high after a collision. You may not be thinking straight. For this reason, get to a doctor as soon as possible and save all documents and expenses.
4. Take Pictures
If possible, take pictures of the accident scene. If you’re traveling with someone who hasn’t sustained an injury, have them take photos of your car and the other vehicle.
Take up-close shots of any injuries like bruises or cuts. All of this can serve as valuable evidence when building your case.
5. Collect Witness Information
There will likely be witnesses on the scene. Speak to them and take their name and phone number. They can be critical when gathering testimony for your claim or if your case goes to trial.
6. Get in Touch With an Attorney
Florida’s statute of limitations law gives you four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the responsible party.
Filing after these four years could mean you lose the right to seek compensation for your injuries, damages, and losses. Starting the claim process as soon as possible is always the wisest course of action.
You must also notify your insurance company and file a claim for damages. Even if you don’t plan to file a claim, you should notify your car insurance company as soon as possible.
Getting in touch with an experienced attorney will make filing your claim as stress-free as possible.
An experienced injury lawyer can advise you on what you can claim and ensure you get the settlement you deserve.

What Happens After a Truck Accident in Boynton Beach?
Commercial trucks weigh up to 30 times more than passenger vehicles. Getting struck by one can be devastating. Following a semi-truck accident, you need to call 911 for help, document the accident, and get in touch with an attorney.
As you focus on recovering, you can start the process of filing a claim to get compensation for property damage, physical injuries, loss of income, and more.
Let Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers in Boynton Beach help you Demand More.
What Are the Typical Causes of Truck Accidents?
There are numerous reasons that semi and 18-wheel truck accidents occur, the most common being:
- Overloaded or unbalanced trucks
- Improperly secured cargo
- Poorly maintained trucks
- Drivers who lack adequate training
- Reckless driving
- Driver fatigue
- Distracted driving, such as texting
In some cases, uncontrollable factors such as severe weather cause truck accidents. Unfortunately, no one can control slippery roads or intense storms.
However, truck drivers should pull over when circumstances become too dangerous or reduce speed and drive with caution.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires the trucking company to investigate the employee involved. The resulting report is available to investigators and includes information like the accident’s date, the driver’s name, the number of injuries, drug testing, and more.
What Are the Most Common Truck Accident Injuries?
Whether driving on the interstate or through your neighborhood, sharing the road with large trucks is inevitable. The size and weight of these trucks can pose a danger to you. If a collision occurs, you can face life-altering injuries, including:
- Head and brain injuries
- Broken or cracked bones
- Back, neck, and spinal injuries
- Burns
- Lacerations
- Wrongful death
We understand you can never replace a loved one. However, we will Demand More to ensure you and your loved ones receive the compensation you deserve to move forward.
How Much Compensation Do People Injured in Truck Accidents Receive?
Every situation is different, so our lawyers offer a free consultation to review your case.
To receive the settlement you deserve, you need to prove that your injuries and damages resulted from the accident. Once liability has been established, you can claim several types of compensation.
Florida is a no-fault state.
That means the onus is on each driver’s insurance provider to pay for damages. It also means you should start by seeking reimbursement of your medical bills under your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage.
You can also pursue a claim to recover damages not covered by your PIP insurance.
Some such damages include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Loss of future wages
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment
- Wrongful death damages if the accident results in a fatality
- Other losses incurred as a result of the accident

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
What an amazing experience I had with Brian and his team. I was referred by a friend after a bad accident. Patricia & Lily have gone above & beyond to be attentive, quick to respond, and very kind. I feel they really cared about my well being, and about my outcome. Brian was a pleasure to work with. You can tell he cares about his company, and it shows in the way he does business and his staff. Thank you again! I will definitely be sending people your way.
I chose Brian Guralnick for my personal injury case because of my experience with Brian on a previous business relationship that I had with him many years ago. At that time I could tell that this man was detail oriented and passionate and caring.
This was my very first experience with a personal injury lawsuit and Brian and his team very professionally advised me and compassionately guided me at every turn. My case was settled much faster than I had expected and for a settlement amount that was higher than I expected. When Brian says that he will “Demand More”, he is absolutely telling the truth.
Brian and his team absolutely know what they are doing.
Brian Guralnick and his staff are the best there is out there! Each staff member was always professional, personable and a pleasure to work with. They all went above and beyond my expectations, and did an excellent job for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of this kind of service.
