Truck vs. Car Accidents in Miami Gardens, Florida
In the bustling city of Miami Gardens, Florida, accidents involving both cars and trucks are unfortunately all too common. However, understanding the legal distinctions between these types of accidents is crucial for victims seeking compensation. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the key differences between truck accidents and car accidents in Miami Gardens and why choosing Kemp Law for representation can make all the difference.
The Impact of Local Landmarks on Accident Statistics
Miami Gardens Landmarks
Miami Gardens is home to several prominent landmarks, including Hard Rock Stadium, the Miami Dolphins’ home field, and Calder Casino. Unfortunately, accidents can occur near these landmarks and other busy areas like NW 27th Avenue and NW 167th Street, where traffic congestion is common.
Legal Differences Between Truck and Car Accidents
Liability Issues
Truck accidents often involve multiple parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, and potentially other entities responsible for maintenance or loading of the truck. Determining liability in these cases can be complex and may require extensive investigation.
Car accidents, on the other hand, typically involve fewer parties, usually just the drivers of the vehicles involved. Liability is often determined based on factors such as negligence, traffic violations, and eyewitness testimonies.
Severity of Injuries
Due to their size and weight, trucks can cause more severe injuries and damage in accidents compared to cars. Victims of truck accidents may suffer catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or even fatalities. As a result, the compensation sought in truck accident cases is often higher to account for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Car accidents, while still capable of causing serious injuries, may not result in the same level of devastation as truck accidents. However, victims may still require compensation for medical bills, vehicle repairs, and other damages.

FAQs

What Should I Say To The Insurance Company?
The at-fault party’s insurance company could ask you to give them a recorded statement. You do not have to give them a recorded statement. However, if your own insurance company asks you for a recorded statement please seek advice from your attorney so that they can assist you in giving that statement. But yes you do have to comply and you do have to give your insurance company a recorded statement.
-
Will I Have To Go To Court?
Actually, most cases, or a large percentage of the cases are resolved pre-suit, which means the cases never go to court. We work with the insurance companies before filing suit to try to find a fair resolution for the client, which save money on expenses, court costs and attorney’s fees.
-
How Do I Know Who Was At-Fault?
Fault is determined by the evidence collected during the investigation. We look to many things to determine fault in the case: we look to the police report, we look to witness statements, we look to the property damage to the vehicles, skid marks, layout of the cars, etc. Sometimes we even have to refer to accident re-constructionists to do a professional examination of the all the evidence to do a recommendation for us, but that does not happen in very many cases.
-
Will I Recover Monetary Damages?
It depends on who was at fault for the accident. If you were at fault, your insurance company will pay for the damage to the vehicle. If you were not at fault, the at-fault driver’s or owner’s insurance policy will pay for the damage, and if they do not have enough coverage to cover the damage to your vehicle, your collision coverage (if purchased) would pay for the damage to your vehicle.
-
What Documents Will I Need?
We like you to bring the driver’s exchange of information that the police officer gives you at the scene. We also like you bring any photographs of damage at the scene. Also bring your health insurance cards and your auto insurance cards or declarations page, so we can review the coverage available to you.
